| 摘要： | The global surge in inflation since the COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, pushed up consumer prices to record highs in 2022 as people found themselves struggling to pay for basic necessities, including energy and food. Prices across the 19 countries in the eurozone increased at an annual rate of 10.7% in October 2022, according to official estimates. Inflation in Germany, Europe's biggest economy, rose to 11.6%, while the United Kingdom's reading of 11.1% was a 41-year high. The United States has been on its own economic rollercoaster, with consumer prices hitting a high of 9.1% in June, the biggest yearly increase since 1981. Prices have since dipped slightly as a potential indication that pressures may be starting to ease. The cost-of-living crisis across developed markets precipitated a series of labor disputes in ports as dock workers demanded higher wages to counter falling standards of living. The UK's largest container port, Felixstowe, was hit by two eight-day walkouts in late August and September. Walkouts during the summer in German ports culminated in a 48-hour strike involving violent clashes with police. |
