Economies and stock markets around the world have benefited from low inflation and low interest rates in recent years. But Deutsche Bank is now warning of “devastating” consequences and a “time bomb” if inflation rises permanently.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Good times are sometimes only recognized in retrospect, when something has changed to the worse. Such an experience could now also threaten the global economy, warns the Deutsche Bank research team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a new study, the experts led by chief economist David Folkerts-Landau warn of a permanent return of inflation and a greatly changed macroeconomic environment as a result. “We are concerned that the painful lessons of an inflationary past are being ignored by central bankers,” writes the DB research team. After all, few people remember the high inflation of several decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Above all, the central banks’ view that the current rise in inflation is largely temporary and can therefore be ignored in monetary policy is highly dangerous<\/strong>, it says. While it is admirable that central banks are increasingly taking social criteria into account in their decisions, at the same time ignoring inflationary pressures means that the global economy is sitting on a “time bomb”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recently, the inflation rate has already risen significantly, in the USA even to 4.2 percent. But the central banks want to “see through” the latest surge in inflation because they believe it is only temporary and because the inflation rate had previously been below the two percent targeted by most central banks for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
