HOW TO INVEST IN TIMES OF HIGH INFLATION?

Today, we will look at how to manage money in a situation where year-on-year inflation is 17.2% and our money is losing value in real terms. For consumers, inflation means higher prices for goods and services and the risk of losing purchasing power. From an investor's perspective, inflation can be seen as another form of taxation, where another part of our earnings has been taken away from us. Consumer prices increased by 1.6% month-on-month. This development was mainly driven by higher prices in the housing and food and non-alcoholic beverages sections. Year-on-year, consumer prices rose by 17.2% in June, 1.2 percentage points higher than in May.

All of our services are free of charge.
