Factors Affecting the Global Economy

A rise in COVID-19 cases:

As a result of Omicron, a new variant of COVID-19, more cases have been reported worldwide, resulting in the disruption of supply chain management. However, the global vaccination drive has reduced the fatality from COVID-19.

Russia-Ukraine war:

Global economic expansion will be hampered by a protracted conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Due to the war, trade and investment have suffered because Russia has been subjected to economic sanctions, and several major corporations have ceased operations there.

Rising Inflation and Interest Rates:

As a result of rising inflation rates in both developing and advanced economies, central banks tighten monetary policy and raise interest rates to keep prices from rising. However, a steady increase in interest rates could cause financial distress in some economies
