Abstract

Cet article a pour objectif de contribuer à la compréhension de l’hyperinflation zimbabwéenne de 2008. La réforme agraire annoncée en novembre 1997 est à l’origine de cette hyperinflation. Celle-ci a provoqué une fuite massive de capitaux et une désorganisation de la production qui entraînent sur plusieurs années la dégradation des comptes extérieurs, et une dépréciation tendancielle du dollar zimbabwéen. La dépréciation, via la hausse des coûts à l’importation, a engendré une forte augmentation des prix. La hausse durable des prix a, par la suite, débouché sur les pratiques d’indexation des prix sur le cours du change. Ces phénomènes d’indexation ont non seulement nourri le processus inflationniste, mais aussi conduit à l’effondrement de la monnaie zimbabwéenne. La réforme agraire enclenche donc un processus qui aboutit à la destruction du dollar zimbabwéen. Notre contribution à la compréhension de l’hyperinflation zimbabwéenne est de montrer comment la décision politique visant à exproprier les terres appartenant aux fermiers britanniques a entraîné un effondrement de l’ordre monétaire.
