Some people expected to go back to normalcy after the end of the COVID pandemic. But they could not get more wrong than that.
What 2022 has delivered to us so far is:
- As war returned to Europe, countries issued survival manuals.
- Skyrocketing inflation (which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone; check here to see how prolonged lockdowns and current inflation are linked) and food prices going up by more than 100% a year.
- Rising interest rates and people who may lose their homes if they have an ARM mortgage, while politicians try to put out a fire with more fuel.
- A Chinese banking crisis that may trigger the mother of all real-estate crises.
- Countries like Germany are facing an energy crisis, while Russia is struggling with the sanctions imposed by the west (despite the myth propagated by Russia that everything is fine there).
- Other nations, like Sri Lanka and Peru, either collapsed or suffered from widespread riots.
But all these crises are not affecting everyone in the same way. Some countries are cruising through 2022 with flying colors.
