rate hikes and in the sinking euro. and, and the big issue here is genuine concerns. the fear that russia is going to cut off gas supply and say to europe, and that is going to be devastating. you've got the german economy minister at repeatedly warning on domestic television that the winter is going to be really, really brutal. now, added to that is of course, is consistent trend that we're seeing here in europe of flat slow growth and high inflation. and so policy makers are la paint to target, particularly that and yours own finance ministers are meeting to daycare in brussels. going into that meeting, they talked about having to address those issues, how to fight those inflationary pressures to ease the burden of european citizens. but also look to stimulate growth across the years own because that is a big concern. well, for the view from the us, let's bring in my colleague jones quarter in new york. now jones, we just heard from christine, we understand why the euro is weak, but can you tell us, why is the dollar so strong right now?

well, i mean, one of the main reason that the dollar is read, talk to because of interest rates here in the united states. as we already heard, we see the federal reserve for a very aggressively trying to fight inflation. so just recently, we had the biggest increase of interest rates and more than 20 years. and at the next meeting, we about the another increase by at least 50, if not even a $75.00 basis points. how much the federal reserve is going to increase interest rates from here on also depends by the way on inflation. so on consumer prices, we will get fresh data on that on wednesday. ok, well, what effect is this going to have on the u. s. economy or even the ripple effect outside of that a global economy. what can you tell us? christy, clearly it has a huge effect on many levels. so if you look at some emerging markets, for example,

countries who hold that in us dollar. i mean, for them, it's really painful if the dollar is going up here in the united states. i mean, the biggest economy on the planet does not so much depend on exports. so therefore, the country can probably resend the higher dollar. but if you look at some of the big multinational corporations here in the united states and they bring their profits back from abroad, so that's going to hurt margin and profits on that level. and then what we've already seen here on tuesday, i mean all the commodity is oil goals. other commodities are all actually traded in a dollar. and therefore we already did see the prices of those come out to commodities coming down quite a bit on tuesday. for example, a loan oil last about 8 percent in value, but that at least as well coming at

a trend, i would say that at least some of the commodity price is according well, we'll be checking in with you on this topic going forward. yes, thank you. so much well, croatia is scheduled to switch over to the euro beginning next year with 6 months ago. however, not all creations are excited. some don't want to give up their beloved qu now, and with inflation on the rise worldwide. there's also concern that being part of the year ozone will drive up the cost of living even more. while our reporter fani f, a shar reports from dubrovnik, miles and miles of every attic coastline, nearly 20000000 people came to visit croatia in the year before the pandemic tourism is a key source of revenue. until now, you paid with this the coon out the local currency, but croatia wants to add up the euro next year. and creations are split with a question of who will benefit from the new currency. this is the place most
