This means that an average household required that much to purchase both food and non-food items for them not to be deemed poor. > This represents an increase of 44.2 per cent when compared to the September 2019 figure of $2, 191.62. Zimstat also revealed that the PDL varied by province, with the lowest being $2 904 in Mashonaland Central and Matabeleland North being the highest at $3 359. Runaway inflation has driven the majority of Zimbabweans below the PDL as many of those formally employed are earning less than $1 000 per month. *More: New Ziana* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
