Arabic and international
Economy News - Baghdad
The World Bank warned on Tuesday that food and energy prices, which have soared due to the war in Ukraine, could remain high for years, at least until the end of 2024.
"The war in Ukraine caused a great shock to commodity markets and changed the pattern of trade, production and consumption in the world," the bank said in a report, noting that
"prices will remain at historically high levels until the end of 2024."
He stated that "the rise in energy prices during the past two years was the largest since the oil crisis in 1973," noting that
"the prices of food raw materials, of which Russia and Ukraine are major producers, and fertilizers whose production depends on natural gas, have not been this strong since 2008.".
"Overall this is the biggest commodity shock we've seen since the 1970s," he added.
