Inflation, supply bottlenecks, the real estate alarm in China

The alarm signals are increasing: Inflation in the euro zone has been stable and rising since May 2021 at over 2 percent - the level above which the European Central Bank should actually start to raise interest rates.

The industry complains about a lack of components, especially semiconductors.

That drives up prices and stifles growth.

Not only in Great Britain, but also in other economies, some industries are short of workers.

And in China, the wavering real estate giant Evergrande is putting an entire financial system under stress.

All of this sounds like classic ingredients for a damper, maybe even for a strong blow or even shock for the global economy.

How great is the danger really?

Which signals do we have to pay particular attention to in the coming months?

And what is the German economy preparing for?

The mm editors Sven Clausen, Christian Schütte and Martin Noé provide information on this in this podcast.
