The World´s Economy Is More Complex Than What the Market Believes

Fifth week
April 2022

The world economy is getting complicated. Those who gambled in 2021 that the rise in inflation was going to be temporary, exacerbated by the consequences of the pandemic on some markets such as microprocessors, have been losing in considerable amounts. This year inflation did not only not go down, but it accelerated everywhere until it reached worrying levels. In almost all developed markets it is bordering on double digits. The United States is at 8.5% year-on-year in March. Spain at 8.4% and Germany at 7.4% in April. While the wholesale inflation rates in Europe seem like Argentines. France at 26%, Spain 46%, Germany 30.9%, just to mention a few examples.
