IMF confident that a wage spiral will not unleash despite high inflation

this high rates Simultaneously rising inflation in many countries and labor markets showing signs of strength are fueling fears of an upward spiral in wages leading to an inflationary cycle. International Monetary Fund (IMF) is considered unlikely based on analysis of similar historical events.
