Given that food and energy prices respond to monetary developments, and thus are not exogenous, the concept of core inflation obviously becomes problematic, to say the least.

They say that fears of running out of resources, notably food and energy, have been with us for 200 years, and we never succumbed.

The surge in food and energy prices is a major emergency for many of these countries, and it needs to be managed carefully.

That means emergency measures designed to write off a sizeable proportion of the debt, provide new credits, massively increase assistance to meet the most urgent social needs and, in particular, to increase access to food, water and energy.
