Recorded October 27, 2026 - in this episode, NDR's Chief Economist Alejandra Grindal discusses inflation's impact on the global economy and monetary policy. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised its policy rate for the first time in nearly four years, signaling a move toward inflation containment. Eurozone inflation recently hit a three-year high, driven almost entirely by energy costs. While inflation pressures, stemming from energy and AI-driven demand, have increased, businesses are absorbing cost rises, maintaining stable margins for now. Overall, the economic expansion remains synchronized across regions and sectors, with low near-term recession risk.
