Poland’s high inflation With price jumps from the pandemic

Status: 08.06.2021 8:12 a.m.

The Polish inflation rate is well above the German rate – now more than five percent. In many ways, this is a consequence of the pandemic, experts say. But when will the central bank react? From Martin Adam, ARD studio Warsaw The pandemic is not over yet when another topic is pushing the front pages of Polish newspapers. “Why so expensive?” Asks the “Gazeta Wyborcza”. The “Rzeczpospolita” replies: “We pay for growth with inflation.” In fact, what is happening in Poland is what financial experts in Germany are warning of: the inflation rate is rising – currently to a ten-year high of well over five percent, according to the standardized European calculation. That is one of the highest values ​​in the European Union. For comparison: In Germany, the inflation rate was 2.5 percent in May .

Devaluation clearly noticeable

The devaluation of the Polish zloty is clearly noticeable, explains financial market expert Pawel Majtkowski. “Compared to last year, wages have risen by ten percent, but the prices of fruit and vegetables by 20 percent. So we are already feeling the price increases,” he says. “In addition, there are higher production costs, transport costs and the costs of higher wages.” All of this is reflected in prices. Inflation is most evident in the case of fuels. According to the national statistics office, gasoline and diesel for private cars have become more than 30 percent more expensive within a month.

“Polish economy is doing well”

But don’t panic, it’s all normal and a consequence of the corona pandemic, explains economic advisor Lidia Adamska. “Inflation in Poland reflects processes that we see in the post-Covid landscape around the world. But the Polish economy is doing well,” she says. “The gross domestic product is growing, the employment and unemployment figures are also optimistic.” There are various factors that are currently weighing on the Polish currency, only some actually have to do with the corona pandemic: The low interest rates, which are supposed to stabilize the economy, make money cheap. It is available in large quantities, which always carries the risk of being devalued. After the rapid slump last year, crude oil prices are also picking up again, making gasoline and diesel more expensive. In addition, there are higher food prices because Polish agriculture has not recovered from the past two years of drought. A bad harvest means high prices. With restaurants and hotels that are slowly reopening in Poland, demand is also increasing.

Raising the minimum wage is having an effect

The political decision at the beginning of the year to increase the gross minimum wage to 18.30 zloty per hour, the equivalent of around 4.10 euros, also has an impact. This is supposed to distribute the Polish economic boom more fairly. However, the service industry in particular, which has been shaken by the corona lockdown, is passing the higher wage costs through to customers. The bottom line is that everything will be expensive. But it will certainly be countered soon, suspects the economics expert Ignacy Morawski. “In a sense, inflation is the price of low unemployment,” he says. “I suspect the central bank will soon raise interest rates to control inflation.” When exactly this will happen and how far inflation will rise, hardly anyone in Poland has yet wanted to make a forecast.

First, US President Biden announced $20 billion in funding to modernize the energy system and address digital security breaches. Other international and regional companies around the world also come up with their own strategies to mitigate this threat. Saudi Arabia’s oil giant Aramco, Siemens Energy and the World Economic Forum (WEF) have announced they will be releasing a joint report on cyber resilience in the oil and gas industry. The report will establish a blueprint for assessing how best to manage the various risks and threats associated with cyberattacks. The report brings together the experiences of 40 energy experts, who will provide their experience and expertise to outline some of the key cyber threats facing the industry and how best to mitigate those. this threat to improve energy security worldwide. The report comes after years of the oil and gas industry suffering from digital security breaches not only in the United States, which saw the Colonial Pipeline attack this month and a hack in February 2020 for a compressed air facility that caused a two-day power outage. Other oil and gas facilities around the world have also suffered similar losses. In 2012, Saudi Arabia experienced a cyber attack that resulted in more than 30,000 computers being hacked. In addition to this report, Siemens also announced a partnership with US software company ServiceNow to establish a unified software to monitor, detect, and respond to cyberthreats targeting power infrastructure. important amount. Siemens Energy’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based software combined with ServiceNow’s Operations Technology Management system exposes cyber threats for analysts to assess and prioritize early response. Leo Simonovich, Vice President and Global Head of Industrial Networks at Siemens Energy said of the report: “Digitalization is empowering the oil and gas sector to be more efficient, flexible and reliable – but it also opens up many new vulnerabilities for cyberattacks. More than ever, cybersecurity must be at the core of companies’ business and operating models, especially in the oil and gas industry. Effective defenses depend on robust monitoring and detection – which means companies cannot act alone. Coordination and alignment are very important; This latest book, based on insights from leaders in the oil and gas sector, reflects these efforts. ” “Most energy companies grapple with complex technological and economic challenges associated with monitoring, detecting, and preventing cyberattacks on critical infrastructure,” emphasized Leo Simonovich. important. Our MDR, powered by the Eos.ii solution, is the first AI-based platform built to provide visibility and context across the energy industry’s entire digital operating environment. to promptly prevent attacks”. This is one of the ways the oil and gas industry is using AI and other innovative technologies to improve security and monitoring and evaluation operations across multiple sectors. As the United States ramps up its game in cybersecurity, the rest of the world has taken note of this recent attack and is responding at the international level to ensure that energy security is not compromised. development is synchronized with the digitization of the energy system. Establishing and regulating cybersecurity practices across the industry enhances the collective recovery efforts of oil and gas companies, presenting a united front against cybercrime and security threats other importance.

In 1969, the Soviet Army received the T-64A variant with the 125 mm cannon instead of the 115 mm one. From 1976 to 1985, the T-64B was produced in Kharkov with an improved fire control system and the ability to launch a guided missile through the barrel. In principle, the manufacturer has managed to get rid of many previously defined problems. Two years later, the T-64 appeared with a version equipped with explosive reactive armor Kontakt-1. It is these means of fighting that are currently the basis of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian T-64E main battle tank carrying 23 mm GSh-23L cannon In 2004, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense adopted the T-64BM “Bulat”, which was developed in the Kharkiv design room for mechanical engineering named after AA Morozov. A total of 85 MBTs were ordered but it turned out to be unsuccessful. Its special edition – the T-64E was created by the Kharkov armored repair plant. Engineers suggest using multi-channel viewfinder with gunner thermal camera and captain’s panoramic viewfinder. Firepower is enhanced by the 23 mm GSh-23L double-barrel air cannon with a ammo base of up to 600 rounds, accompanied by a remote controlled 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun. This weapon can be used by any member of the crew, including the driver. Protection has also been increased thanks to the Nozh explosive reactive armor and a high-speed fire suppression system. Meanwhile, the vehicle’s weight increased to 42,500 kg, the engine capacity also increased to 850 horsepower. Despite the announced new possibilities, the Ukrainian Armed Forces Command is not interested in the amendment. Such tanks would be too complicated and expensive. Also, the repair company itself is not capable of mass-producing them. As a result, only one prototype was born and until recently was rusting in the storage.

At the online conference to strengthen prevention of the COVID-19 epidemic held on April 16, Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long said that this Immunization Safety Steering Committee is responsible for setting the safety of vaccinations. to the top, always ready and confident in handling cases with post-injection reactions with the view of “where the injection is safe to get there”.

Also according to the Minister, during the first injection of AstraZeneca vaccine in 19 provinces and cities across the country, the surveillance system of the National Expanded Immunization Program recorded nearly 33% of vaccinated people having mild reactions. usually after injection and go away on its own after 1-2 days without the need for treatment or medical attention; About 1 (one thousandth) of cases of hypersensitivity reactions after injection have been properly managed, their health has stabilized, returned to work after 1-2 days of follow-up. treatment at a medical facility. In particular, to date, Vietnam has not recorded any cases of blood clots occurring after vaccination.

“The rate of 33% of people injected with normal mild reactions after injection and going away after 1-2 days is an acceptable number. With many of the current vaccines and the 5-in-1 vaccines being deployed in the expanded vaccination program, this rate could reach 50%. These are the very common reactions after vaccination, ”said Minister Nguyen Thanh Long.

With more than 811,000 doses of vaccine supported by COVAX, which just arrived in Vietnam on April 1, the Minister of Health asked localities to quickly and safely deploy injections, before May 15 to complete more than 811,000 doses. this.

At present, the epidemic situation in the world and neighboring countries with our country is still complicated, so the Minister emphasized that the control of COVID-19 epidemic in 2021 is still a challenge and difficulty. countries, including Vietnam, need to work to deal with it. Therefore, localities and people are not subjective, indifferent, always actively implement drastic measures to prevent epidemics.

The Minister also said that at present, the most “hot” region is the southwest border and the southwestern provinces. Therefore, the Ministry of Health suggested that these localities direct the maintenance of the border area by preventing illegal entry, making an important contribution to the fight against epidemics in the coming time. It will be difficult to control epidemics in the community.

Localities also need to proactively strengthen regular screening of places with a large concentration of people to detect cases, because the earlier we are screened, the more proactive we are in fighting the epidemic. This is a lesson from Cambodia, Thailand …, the Minister suggested.

AstraZeneca / Oxford University COVID-19 Vaccine. Photo: AFP / VNA

In February 2021, a team of vaccine researchers at Oxford University started a study called Com-Cov, in which volunteers are given the first and second shots with two different vaccines. are Oxford / AstraZeneca and Pfizer. Now, the researchers will add Moderna and Novavax vaccines to the pilot program.

Matthew Snape, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Immunization at Oxford University and lead the study, said the focus of the study was to find out if the available COVID-19 vaccines could be used. more flexibly, with the use of one vaccine for the first shot and another for the second shot, or not.

Associate Professor Matthew Snape expects that if research can prove that the mixed vaccination produces the same immune response as the standard vaccination and does not significantly increase the response to the vaccine, there will be more. people completing the COVID-19 vaccination plan earlier. This will also assist the health system in responding to a shortage of any vaccines currently in use.

To expand this study, researchers are looking for more volunteers over the age of 50 who have received their first shot of the vaccine in the past 8 to 12 weeks. Volunteers, who received their first shot with the Oxford / AstraZeneca or Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine, will be randomly assigned to receive a second shot with the same first shot or with the vaccine. Made by Moderna or Novavax.
