Energy prices have sharply increased in Belgium. Especially electricity and gas. Wages have gone up also though as they are automatically adjusted to inflation.

I think you can blame corona and generous governments.

COVID-19 has caused supply chain disruptions and high consumer demand for goods. In other words, demand is much higher than supply, so prices increase.

Inflation will decrease as the supply of goods increases, along with the Federal Reserve raising interest rates.

Supply will increase, demand will decrease. Inflation will decrease. Basic economics.

This thread definitely has political undertones, with people blaming one party…both parties…etc. Considering closing. Try to focus on economics please and don’t turn into politics or will have to close.

Covid vaccinations have opened up the economy, but the oil is just not there (due to global shutdown) to meet the demand.

Gas prices are way high right now. I remember back when it was under a dollar. I was just a kid in the 90s. But it’s only been 20 years and gas prices are quadruple
