the european union, but hungry is especially hard hit, and it's not because of the war. and as tensions rise over time, one, us take steps to isolate its economy from china and taiwan. i've been for solon, let's do business. a 1st shipment of ukrainian grain has set off from the port of odessa, even as the war with russia rages. it's sailing under an internationally broken deal designed to release large stores of ukrainian crops to foreign markets. the ship and ships to come a being monitored from a control center in turkey, a long, safe shipping lanes. it's hope ukrainian grain can ease a growing global crisis. as far as hunger goes, the vessel is carrying 26000 tons of corn and will head 1st to turkey for inspections then on to lebanon. ukrainian officials say i'm looking ports will provide at least $1000000000.00 annually and foreign exchange revenues for the economy. so, you know,

economists gabriella fed eliah joins us from vienna. how much relief will today's news bring commodity markets? do you think? well, there's certainly some relief. you know, prizes have already anticipated the fact that the grain deal is in place and the have started to come down already weeks ago. so what we now see is that the deal olds and there is the good news. when do you think real relief will come to the market? you know, the high prices of all sorts of commodities. we. corn soybeans, rice, also not only depends of course on the, the war new crane. they depend on weather conditions around the cold on the harvest, that is going to come in this full, what is doctor to come in already? and these factors are quite important as well. and so the fact that it was a russian commodities are now more easily going on to the old markets is good,
4:47 pm
but when a t t will remain high, and the shortages are on the, on not only cost by but there was a conditions apart from those 2 factors, what would you say? would you say more is driving up prices right now, or is this to a certain degree post pandemic inflation the way seeing in so many parts of the world? so i think the volatility is certainly due to the or we have seen prices or divorced oxygen will crane that is true for a lot of food staples as well as this reflects of course, the recovery of the world economy after the crisis. this has driven the price is now that you see the u. s. b in recession, the germany close to china, slowing down. this will probably reduce the demand for commodities,
4:48 pm
and that will bring down some of the extra price growth. the recovery after corona has generated. so i think the more important trend and the more no longer live trends is connected to that. to the corona cries, this was the war really brings is locked. and that if you get older, as far as high inflation goes, well how, how much longer do you think consumers will have to put up with this? where are we talking? months, are we talking years the people will have to get ready for you. you normal of types we're talking years and i think this is become quite clear now. all the data that comes in on the police and expectations shows that it leads to the next 3 years. inflation will be much higher than the 2 percent or so the central banks around the world, the target. and even in the 5 years window course, a lot of uncertainty there. but even though that long window expected depletion
4:49 pm
remains to percent, or of course, again, it's true that the central banks are reacting if growth comes down faster than many think it will, then this will also bring down depletion faster. but it's certainly sold at high inflation. is not something that will be, or let's say in a couple of months. great to get your take on those topics. nonetheless, go, we have ever my senior economist force in vienna. thank you. thank you. good. or people are feeling the effects of high inflation suddenly and hungry pensioners are especially hot here that the government has started setting prices for certain foods. otherwise place would be even higher, but it's businesses that are paying the price t bore cells beans from his garden at the market in cure. he's 82 years old and has

to earn extra money. he says his pension is $230.00 euros a month, and it's only getting smaller because hungry is inflation. is it a 20 year high? oh i that okay. i had, i just buy less. when i get milk, i no longer buy for leaders at just 3 and the i don't fill up my glass any more of that ever happened? oh ha. this is how many people deal with inflation in hungary. the government is trying to help by setting prices for some goods. they must be sold at the same prices as 6 months ago. without that inflation would be 14 percent. but now producers and sellers are forced to absorb the cost. had nekisha then it's difficult because everything has become more expensive, but we're told what the price has to be that are all e u countries are suffering from the effects of inflation. but hungary, more than most, a big, big reason of the high inflation environment in hungary. is the war itself and the
4:51 pm
sanctions are which have been imposed by the european union. but hungry has been granted exemptions from sanctions. it's allowed to keep receiving cheap russian oil . experts say the real reasons for the exploding prices came before the war. part of the inflation is the government to her because the budget has spent too much or 2 years ago, and those were last year and this year in connection we did the election. there's been plenty of government spending an overpriced construction contracts that largely benefit government allies. the e u has withheld funds due to what a all deficiencies in the rule of law, the keep getting bigger in response, the government is introducing new taxes for small businesses. there have been days of protests and the government has been pushing for the e. u to release those funds with before the government take surreal. convincing step. i don't think the european institutions are in a hurry to provide the money. and the more we wait,
