The commodity boom has made the central bank worry about inflation for the first time since pre-crisis years before 2008. The demonstration will also have political significance. With the return of the oil prices at US$75 per barrel, Saudi Arabia and Russia have resumed their control in the global energy market. This was a significant return after negative prices more than a year ago. For policymakers responding to the climate crisis, prosperity is also bad news since rising raw material prices will make change more expensive.
