As this infographic based on the latest *[OECD Economic Outlook](https://www.oecd.org/economic-outlook/?ref=europeans.today)* shows, the impact of rising consumer prices is being especially felt [in Europe](https://www.statista.com/topics/4120/inflation-and-price-indices-in-europe/?ref=europeans.today) and countries neighbouring Ukraine.

For Lithuania, *OECD* analysts project an inflation rate of **15.6** per cent for 2022 – compared to the previous forecast from December 2021, this is an increase of **12.4** percentage points.

The projection for the UK is an inflation rate of **8.8** per cent for 2022 (**+4.4** percentage points).

Rising inflation, largely caused by a sharp increase in energy and food prices, is causing hardship for low-income people and increasing food insecurity in the world’s poorest economies.

According to the *OECD*, pressures on supply chains and commodity prices are expected to gradually ease by 2023, and the impact of rising interest rates should also be felt by then. Nevertheless, core inflation is projected to be maintained in many major economies by the end of the year.
