EME Macro/Strategy: 2022E – inflation, distrust and digitalisation

We expect 2022E to be a year of economic expansion and tightening monetary policies. This equilibrium, in our view, will not last, as we do not believe that the central banks are in a position to fine tune inflation and activity anymore – the business cycle is too advanced and inflation risks are abundant. Eventually, central banks will have to deliver enough tightening to halt the labour market recovery and, thus, tip economies into recession: this process may take 15-18 months, but it is the only realistic scenario, in our view. We expect to see high volatility in equities and currencies, together with rising sovereign bond yields.
