Inflation to remain higher for two years, warns OECD

Inflation to remain higher for two years, warns OECD | International Economics: IB Economics | Scoop.it
The UK is expected to have inflation of 3% at the end of 2022, the highest rate of the advanced economies.
Graham Watson's insight:

The OECD is forecasting higher inflation across the developed world, with the UK expected to have 3% inflation by the end of 2022, but falling inflation in a number of other economies. 

 

The causes? Self-evident to be honest - higher raw material costs, supply chain issues and higher levels of consumer demand all play a part and can be shown by elementary AD-AS analysis.

Indonesia’s Aspiring Middle Class - YouTube

Nearly half of Indonesia's population is in the category of aspiring middle-class – they are free from poverty but have yet to achieve full economic security. Should there be adequate support for them to progress into the middle class, it will be a positive and significant impact for the country's economy.
Graham Watson's insight:

The rise of an aspirant middle-class is a sure sign of economic development and this World Bank clip looks at how almost half of all Indonesians are now in that bracket. 

 

This implies that there's been some degree of inclusive growth and that developmental outcomes are improving. There's just so much economics in this clip - microeconomics, with considerations of changing patterns of demand, YED and so on; macroeconomics, in terms of the implications for development. 

 

What a clip!
