Inflation Continues to Trouble Many Countries

Inflation continues to hit many countries globally, with some suffering in Asian, European, American, and African regions. In Africa, Nigeria recorded massive inflations, hitting 19.64% in July, a 17-year high. With this increasing inflation, it’s no surprise that many Nigerians have been investing in crypto. Other African countries, including South Africa and Kenya, also experienced increasing inflations.

In Asia, China and other countries are also experiencing increasing inflation. For instance, a recent Bloomberg report shows China’s CPI reached a two-year high of 2.7% in July. As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, things could only get worse. In the US, on the other hand, things appear to be settling for now.
