For a while yet if in the future at all, pointing to an unstable global Food Supply Pressurised by the war in ukraine. Now the price of food in the uk rose by nearly 17. 5 in the year tojune, which was actually a fall from a high of just over 19 in the year to march, following an overall drop in the wholesale price of food which you can see here peaking when russia invaded ukraine last year. It has been trending downwards. But prices are still much higher than before the war and have started creeping up again.

Impact of these floods. The flooding so far in the month ofjuly is estimated to have cost around 25 billion usd. And of course the season for these sort of extreme weather events is not yet over. August and september, historically, have also often had Severe Weather events, such as typhoons and floods, as well as drought. Last year, china was also hit by a very severe drought.

I mean, these figures for trade are actually even worse than economists had anticipated in terms of exports. Its the weakest data since back in february 2020, when china, of course, was right in the thick of the pandemic. Why is this data so bad . Well, its mainly to do with chinas customers abroad. Theyre really struggling with high inflation, high Interest Rates. So theyre spending less money on chinese goods. And if youre a policymaker in beijing, well, its difficult to say what you should do about that. You cantjust force other countries to start buying more of your goods. But theres also more to contend with. If you look at the spending within china, thats also looking not very encouraging at the moment.
