The week inflation became entrenched
March 8, 2022--The events that have unfolded since 24 February have solved one dispute: inflation is no longer temporary.
There are four reasons to expect sustained inflationary pressures and one mitigating factor.
The obvious one is energy prices, with both crude oil and gas prices jumping to very high levels at the start of the war in Ukraine.
With sanctions now imposed, the European Union will need to reduce gas imports from Russia. Some of it will have to be dealt with by reducing demand for gas altogether and some by diverting demand elsewhere.
To the extent that this cannot happen in the next 12 months or so the EU remains dependent on Russia, in which case it is inevitable that gas becomes a tool for retaliation. For as long as these sanctions are in place, the EU will be vulnerable and face a correspondingly heavy energy bill.

War in Europe: the financial front
March 7, 2022--Russia is reeling from massive financial sanctions, while Ukraine's financial system is battered but remains functional, and the EU and global financial systems have rather easily absorbed the initial shock.
Financial sanctions against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February have included three main planks. First, sanctions against named Russian individuals have expanded dramatically.
Second, a series of sanctions has been imposed on individual Russian banks. These include- but are far from limited to- the much-hyped ability of the European Union to require disconnection of individual Russian banks from SWIFT, the international interbank messaging system which is based in Belgium and thus under EU jurisdiction. Third, the Bank of Russia, the country's central bank, has been blocked from using its international reserves in a number of jurisdictions. Critically, these include the United States, the EU, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Australia and Switzerland- in other words, all the world's core reserve-currency jurisdictions bar China (China's share of the world's aggregate central bank foreign reserves remains in the low single digits, even though its share of the Bank of Russia’s reserves is significantly higher).
