Have rising corporate profits been key to the surge in inflation?

In this webinar, we look at the extent to which rising profit margins, so-called “greedflation” explain the pick-up in inflation in the advanced economies over the past couple of years. We also explore whether or not the future path for margins is likely to help central banks return inflation to target swiftly.
