No. Zimbabwe's inflation rate is 10,000,000% per annum. Hungary's
inflation rate was
2,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,

000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% per annum.


That may be the sum total peak, but was is sustainable at that level
for *how* long? Since it was changing by the nanosecond, or so it
seems, that is a good question.
