It is certain that on the one hand, there is the view that inflation (soaring prices) in Europe, the U.S., Japan, etc. is not due to monetary quantitative easing or austerity but, in the short term, to "shortages due to logistical disruptions" from the Corona fiasco to the present day in Ukraine.

The British government’s debt interest payable has risen to the highest level on record, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported this week.
The interest payable stood at £8.2 billion ($9.25 billion) last month, which is £1.5 billion ($1.7 billion) more than in August 2021, and the highest figure for the month since records began in April 1997, the ONS said, adding that the volatility in interest payable is largely caused by the inflation rates.
Annual inflation in the UK hit 9.4% in June, the highest rate in 40 years, but retreated to 8.6% in August.

Public sector net debt excluding public sector banks represented roughly 96.6% of GDP, which was an increase of 1.9% of GDP compared with the same period last year, according to the ONS.
