"The OECD expects the jump in inflation will fade by the end of the year ..."
A fairly clear statement and one that reflects the view outlined previously in the
OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2021 Issue 1
A new, much-debated risk is the possibility of higher inflation. Commodity prices have been rising fast. Bottlenecks in some sectors and disruptions to trade are creating price tensions. These disruptions should start to fade towards the end of the year, as production capacity normalises and consumption rebalances from goods towards services.
And the expected slowdown in inflationary pressures is baked into the
OECD's inflation forecasts for 2022,
Does that look "out of control"?
