Published on :

Widespread inflation, labor shortages, disrupted supply chains: the economic crisis is well established. After the start of a recovery in 2021, the meteoric growth of the Omicron variant worries major international institutions and States, from the great powers to developing countries including emerging countries.

Is this pessimism exaggerated? Are we heading for a financial crisis? Should central banks act using the interest rate tool? Should we at all costs aim for a strong recovery in growth, to the detriment of environmental requirements?
