Ruchir Sharma offers ten economic trends that could define 2022 /FT, 4 January 2022/. Some seem to be relevant, some are not so convincing. May I offer three other trends that might have a bigger impact on 2022 than Sharma's.

Firstly, there is still the new wave/s/ of the pandemic leading to a hybrid year: the first half is still determined by the virus, the second half could be better.

Secondly, the new waves of inflation and the monetary policy changes of central banks will have a huge impact on the global economy.

Thirdly, we start to recognize the return, rerun and parallels of two former decades of the last century: the 1970s and the 1940s. It means that governments, central banks and business sectors will start to reshape their mindsets about their political and business strategies. Big states, big central banks and big global geopolitical games will be with us for the whole 2020s.
