Assessment: The warning was issued alongside the OECD’s routine release of projections for member states’ economies, the organization believes inflationary pressures are expected to peak next year, not this year …
Before the US follows Europe by ordering more lockdowns as a preventative measure to stop the omicron variant from taking hold (although as many have pointed out, that horse appears to have already left the barn), the president’s economic advisers should consider this latest warning from – who else? – the OECD.
The NGO currently responsible for sheparding the most significant change in global corporate tax policy in a century is now warning that omicron could cause inflationary pressures – already at their highest level in 30 years – and the supply chain crunch that is helping to drive them higher, to intensify.

Maybe they should ask Bill Gates.

The largest per-country increases were in the US and UK, where inflation forecasts for next year rose in both countries from 3.1% to 4.4%.
