Eminent Significant Inflation Risks in 2022
The International Monetary Fund is anticipating inflation pressures to be significant around the world in 2022. Inflation is anticipated to be worse in developing markets, where price increases are projected to reach 8.7 percent on average over the course of 2022. In developed nations, this number is projected to be at at 5.7 percent.
Opportunity or Threat Aspect of The Risk

Hyperinflation, the extreme example of this phenomenon, can lead to total economic collapse as the currency loses value so quickly that it essentially becomes worthless.
