Webinar Are we heading for an inflation nightmare?

This Webinar took place on 2 December 2021
What can we learn from history, such as what happened after World War 1 in the Weimar Republic of Germany? And how can risk managers best deal with the current price uncertainty, thereby taking so-called psychological biases like anchoring, probability weighting and overconfidence into account? With the economic and pandemic recovery, inflation has also picked up considerably. Many experts now expect higher and accelerating inflation. But can they forecast future price developments properly?
