European Central Bank forecasts euro zone inflation at 0.3% in 2020
The European Central Bank has predicted that real GDP in the euro area will shrink by 8% in 2020, with inflation rate of 0.3%.
The European Central Bank expects real GDP in the euro zone to grow by 5% in 2021 and 3.2% in 2022. In addition, the inflation rate in the euro area is expected to be 1% and 1.3% respectively in the next two years.
Christina Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, said that the short-term inflation level in the euro area will remain low due to factors such as weak demand and the appreciation of the euro; with the recovery of market demand in the medium term and the role of easing policies, the eurozone will face upward inflationary pressure.

Bulgaria's annual inflation rate is expected to slow to 0.8% by the end of the year
According to the prediction of Bulgaria's central bank, the country's economy may shrink by about 8.5% in 2020, with the most serious up to 13%.
Affected by the novel coronavirus pneumonia, the second quarter of 2020 has witnessed the most severe recession in the history. The possibility of maintaining this year's GDP is between - 4.1% and - 13.1%, and it is most likely to shrink by 8.5%. The main reason is that consumption and investment are shrinking and exports are weakening.
According to the analysis, from 2021 to 2022, economic activities will gradually recover, and by the end of 2020, the real GDP will return to the level of 2019. During this period, strong growth in private consumption, commodity exports and public investment will make the greatest contribution to economic growth. It is expected that by the end of 2020, the annual inflation rate will significantly slow down to 0.8%, accelerate to 1.4% by the end of 2021, and maintain a similar level in 2022 as in 2021.

Estonia became the euro zone's biggest deflationary country in August
According to Eurostat's quick estimate, the annual inflation rate in the euro zone fell 0.6 percentage points in August to - 0.2%.

According to quick estimates, Slovakia and Lithuania have the highest inflation rates of 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively.
Judging from the main factors of inflation in the euro area, food, alcohol and tobacco are expected to grow at the highest annual rate of 1.7% in August, compared with 2% in July, followed by the service industry with 0.7% and 0.9% in July. The inflation rate of non energy industrial products is expected to be - 0.1%, from 1.6% in July; energy is expected to be - 7.8% and - 8.4% in July.

Singapore's core inflation rate fell to a 10-year low in July
Singapore's core inflation rate fell to - 0.4% in July, the lowest since January 2010, as electricity and gas prices fell and food prices fell.
Singapore's core inflation fell, mainly due to the reduction in electricity charges last month, which further widened the decline in electricity and gas prices, from 3.9% in June to 15.2%. At the same time, although the inflation of food services remained generally stable, the price of non cooked food fell, resulting in the decrease of food inflation from 2.3% to 2.2%.
As for the next inflation trend, analysts generally believe that as consumer demand is still weak and the recovery of international tourism is far away, Singapore is expected to struggle to get rid of the pressure of deflation this year.

The impact of inflation
Rising prices: more money chasing limited goods.
Cost rise: the cost of raw materials and labor has to meet the necessary survival needs due to the rising price of commodities.
Savings decline: prices continue to rise, bank interest rates are not enough to resist inflation, the willingness to save declines, and capital flows to other investment products (assets).
Currency devaluation: currency over issuance will lead to devaluation of domestic currency, frustration of import-oriented enterprises and export-oriented income.
The economic risk increases: if inflation continues for a long time, it is definitely a bad thing. But if the medium and short term is conducive to economic development. The premise is that the distribution of new money is reasonable and the financial leverage is in a controllable degree (which is difficult to achieve).
A normal period of inflation indicates prosperity and low unemployment. If the inflation rate is too low, the biggest danger is that it can.
