^^^I been thinking about that too.. but this measure is clearly ineffective, because such is the nature of price distortion in zim, that people are just increasing prices....so there wont be no equilibrium

Yep, as long as there are shortages of basics & foreign currency there will always be a black market furled by both private & public sectors.
