Inflation is already affecting us in our day-to-day lives, but the scenario will get even worse because of the conflict in Ukraine. \u201cFebruary\u2019s CPI rate closed at 7.4%, and all forecasts warn that the figure will go \u2018in crescendo\u2019,\u201d warns Sandra Molas, Head of Strategic Partnerships at 11Onze, in a new episode of L\u2019Estat de la Naci\u00f3. In this context, what can ordinary citizens do?<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>On 10 March, we will see what the European Central Bank decides about interest rates, and how much it expects inflation to rise<\/b>,\u201d the Head of Strategic Partnerships explains. The 7.4% rate is the highest figure in 30 years in Spain, specifically since 1989. \u201cIn Europe, the figure is not much better, it is 5.8%, the highest rate since the creation of the euro,\u201d she denounces.<\/span><\/p>\n

To deal with this context, Molas explains that <\/span>11Onze is providing many tools for better savings management<\/b>. \u201cIt is clear that, with inflation like the one we have, if you don’t move your savings from a current account, they lose value,\u201d she summarises. For this reason, one of the options that the fincom is offering its community is <\/span>the purchase of gold as a safe haven with <\/b>Preciosos 11Onze<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coping with rising prices without savings<\/b><\/h3>\n

But what about <\/span>all those citizens who do not even have savings and who have to face unprecedented price increases<\/b>? \u201cThen we have to consider ways to reduce spending. And we recommend starting to look at fixed costs,\u201d the Head of Strategic Partnerships warns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>The fixed cost brings together the contract for electricity, gas, water, housing… You can start looking at whether another company allows you to spend less money<\/b>. And this is something you can do in the medium term. In the short term, you can also try to control your family’s spending on everyday purchases. Perhaps saving 20 cents may seem silly, but in the current context it does come from here,\u201d Molas explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another key to controlling spending is to team up with a community<\/b>. \u201cAs we have done with Preciosos 11Onze, which, because we are a community, we can negotiate a better price, we also hope to offer other services and products in La Pla\u00e7a that allow our community to make savings,\u201d she explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The presence of women in finance<\/b><\/h3>\n

On the eve of 8-M, Women\u2019s Day, Molas has taken the opportunity<\/span> to call for a greater presence of women in the financial world<\/b>. \u201cThe first thing you find when you Google the word \u2018money\u2019 are men in jackets and ties. They are the ones who manage, who wield the power,\u201d Molas warns. The Head of Strategic Partnerships considers that, in a geopolitical and economic context of crisis such as the one we are experiencing, we must once and for all commit to female leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
