Hand in hand with that of the Covid, the new pandemic that is looming in the world, is that of inflation, with all its economic and social consequences.
The first signs are already in sight: the prices of commodities and some crops in high demand and consumption have skyrocketed for a variety of reasons and we are facing a food crisis of unexpected magnitude.
The early warning has just been put forward by the United Nations Food Organization (FAO), which is forecasting severe declines in global grain reserves impacted by declines in production and rising prices of inputs.
The paralysis and calamity that the Covid pandemic caused to the world economy, plus the effects of climate change, disrupted nations’ foreign debt and exacerbated poverty in general.
Governments now have more social pressure to face a cocktail of different problems together, dealing with existing and future problems.
What are these? Well, the rise in interest rates, the monetary devaluation, the energy crisis and debt defaults and, of course, the food shortage and shortage crisis.
Our country cannot escape this maelstrom.
We are already feeling, as the National Council of Private Enterprise said, the effects of increases in the price of products for daily consumption, which are not necessarily due to government, but several external factors.
With this economic pandemic knocking on our doors, there is an urgent need to light the engines of a national pact to promote an aggressive and sustainable investment plan in rural areas, more incentives to create jobs and cut our teeth. to go out and conquer more markets with the export of our products.
