Part 2/14:
The speakers shared concerns about the pervasive nature of inflation, emphasizing that it extends beyond rising prices to impact the accessibility of goods and services worldwide. One contributor highlighted the UK’s fuel crisis, noting a 250% surge in wholesale gas prices and energy companies teetering on insolvency. The supply chain disruptions—empty shelves and scarcity in petrol—are symptoms of broader inflationary pressures not limited to price but also to availability.
