When the civil war started (presuming this is ex-YU) did rate of inflation really go up that much compared to before? My understanding is it was bad in the late 80s, very bad 89, stabilized in 90 thanks to Markovic, and then resumed going up once the war kicked off.

Inflation stabilized very briefly, but the situation was unsustainable and it quickly resumed. I was pretty young at the time, but I remember that many people went for weeks/months without getting paid. Some government positions fared better than others, but overall the economy struggled.

Then the war kicked off in 1991 and everything fell apart.

Someone commented elsewhere on the thread with a video clip of Markovic talking to the Federal Assembly.
