The upward trajectory of prices in Brazil has led the market to predict that inflation in the country should be above 10% in 2021, well above the ceiling of 5.25% of the target set by the government. But other countries have also registered signs of inflationary pressure. In the US, consumer inflation in October was the highest in more than 30 years. In China, the cost of goods sold to companies in September had the biggest increase in 25 years.

The scenario contributes to the assessment that the moment in the world economy is one of global inflation. The heated demand, with the recovery after the most acute phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the scarcity of inputs in industrial sectors contributed to the concern about the direction of inflation around the world.

In this episode of E Tem Mais, Carol Nogueira presents an overview of the factors that have contributed to the rise in inflation in different parts of the world, including the United States, China and Brazil. To describe the challenges of the international economic scenario and the impacts for Brazil, the economic analyst from CNN Brasil Fernando Nakagawa and economist Simão Davi Silber, professor at USP and researcher at Fipe.
