Joining the discussion are Callum Williams, a Senior economics writer at The Economist specializing in inflation insights, and Tom Nuttall, a Senior editor at The Economist who focuses on the impact of Ukrainian refugees in Europe. They delve into why inflation predictions clash between markets and central bankers. The conversation also explores the struggles and adaptations of millions of Ukrainian refugees navigating new lives while maintaining hopes of returning home. Additionally, the evolution of ice fishing through technology is highlighted, showcasing modern comforts in this cherished winter tradition.
Markets seem to think the worst is over; central bankers are not so sure. We ask why determining the trajectory of inflation is so difficult. Millions of refugees have poured out of Ukraine since the war began; their uncertain futures make setting up home tricky—for them and their host countries’ governments. And how technology is transforming the sport of ice fishing.
