The impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict
According to John Baffes, Senior Agricultural Economist at the World Bank’s Development Economics Prospects Group, non-energy prices are likely to jump 20% in 2022, with the greatest increase in commodities where Russia or Ukraine are important exporters.
He went on to say that the forecast is dependent on the length of the conflict and the intensity of interruptions to commodities shipments.
‘The shock of the Ukrainian conflict, combined with the epidemic, has produced supply interruptions in a number of goods, including oil, food, and fertilizers. Most prices are projected to rise considerably in the current fiscal year and in the medium future,’ he stated.
According to the most recent predictions, the world economy would grow at 2.9 percent in 2022, down from 4.1 percent in January 2022. On the other hand, worldwide inflation has been revised upwards for both 2022 and 2023, he noted.
