Graduate Institute What Matters Today

The cost-of-living crisis is affecting many households globally. But how did we get here? We know that the war in Ukraine is fuelling the cost of living crisis, however what are the other causes? What are the potential solutions to this crisis? Salary increases and price controls are often brought up as solutions, but are they effective? And lastly, how will this crisis impact the transition to greener energy? These are some of the questions that we will examine in this episode of What Matters Today. Our guest is Charles Wyplosz, Honorary Professor, International Economics and Faculty Associate, Centre For Finance And Development at the Geneva Graduate Institute. Intro Credits: DW News
