Bloomberg named the main economic risks of 2022

Most economic analysts expect a strong recovery in the global economy in 2022, but there are a number of factors that could hinder economic growth, writes BLOOMBERG.

“What can go wrong? Much. Omicron strain, spike inflation, Fed rise, China recession, Taiwan, foray into emerging markets, hard Brexit, new euro crisis and rising food prices in the Middle East.

In the event that the omicron strain of COVID-19 turns out to be more infectious and deadly, this will negatively affect the economy. Even a return to the toughest restrictions for three months could lead to a slowdown in economic growth in 2022 to 4.2%, Bloomberg notes. Under such a scenario, demand will be weaker, supply and logistics problems will persist.

Bloomberg also writes about the threat of a sharp rise in inflation . So, if at the beginning of 2021 it was predicted that the United States would end the year with inflation of 2%, now the figure is already close to 7%.
