Lack of confidence in government to practiсe fiscal restraint feeds on itself. In Zimbabwe, neither the issuance of banknotes of higher denominations nor proclamation of new currency regimes led holders of the currency to expect that the new money would be more stable than the old. Remedies announced by the government never included a believable basis for monetary stability.[21][22] Thus, one reason the currency continued to lose value, causing hyperinflation, is that so many people expected it to.[23]
