Let's pull back the curtain on this intriguing global stage, where inflation has been relentlessly hogging the spotlight!

Economists and market spectators across the globe, from those working diligently in oak-panelled offices to those crunching numbers behind laptops at cosy coffee shops, have kept a watchful eye.
