Inflation is set to be the biggest issue for both businesses and individuals in 2022. There are concerns about persistent and accelerating inflation globally, fuelled by an overheating economy because of large fiscal stimulus and government spending during the pandemic.
Headline inflation is at its highest since 2013 in Singapore, while the cost of living for the average Kiwi household has increased by 5.9% in the past year. Foreign Exchange volatility and fluctuations will impact the cost of imported goods and drive even bigger impacts for some economies. All eyes are on how many times the Federal Reserve will increase rates this year.
Some of the questions to be addressed at this panel discussion:
Price increases: an opportunity or a threat?
Wage inflation: what expectations will there be from employees around salary rounds?
How long will this inflationary cycle last?
Will some markets and industries be impacted more than others?
What will this mean for global supply chain?
Join us for a panel discussion with leaders from a range of commercial backgrounds.
