We close a year in which the general rise in prices has made it difficult for many families to make ends meet. How will the economy evolve in 2023? What can we do to adjust the family budget? We talk about it with Xavi Vi\u00f1olas, Editor of 11Onze and Gemma Vallet, Director of 11Onze District, in a new episode of La Pla\u00e7a, Territori 17’s radio show.<\/b><\/h3>\n

With a year-on-year inflation rate of 8.4%, <\/span>2022 has been disastrous for many families<\/b> who have seen their purchasing power fall to unsustainable levels. Runaway price rises have pushed up the cost of living at a time when many households were just recovering from the shock of the pandemic. What lies ahead for 2023?<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, we will see whether central banks can halt the rise in prices without neutering the recovery of economies. <\/span>Financial analysts predict that inflation will fall to 5%<\/b>, but as Vi\u00f1olas points out, “in a context of uncertainty and high economic volatility, we have to take any economic forecast with a grain of salt, the same experts told us that current inflation would only last a few months”.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
