A new Reuters poll of economists indicates that global inflationary pressures will remain elevated well into the coming year, defying expectations of a swift return to pre-pandemic price stability. The survey suggests that central banks may face prolonged challenges in taming rising costs, with persistent supply chain disruptions and strong consumer demand cited as key factors. Analysts warn that sustained inflation could force policymakers to maintain tighter monetary conditions longer than anticipated, potentially impacting economic growth. The findings highlight a growing divide between regions, as some areas struggle with more severe price hikes than others.
