ABSTRACT Food prices play a major role in setting inflation rates, and in recent years’ global climatic conditions has worsened a lot while global demand is increasing due to the growth of the middle class in countries such as China and India. Rising food prices remains a key concern for the government of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia remains vulnerable to increases in food prices due to its high dependence on imports. The Saudi economy is an open-market based economy which is reflected by data of foreign trade with trading partners of the Kingdom. High degree of economic openness of a country causes the domestic inflation rate to be affected by change in the prices of goods in the country of origin. Saudi government is facing the challenge of limiting inflation amid a spike in global food prices. Another major challenge to the effectiveness of the Saudi monetary policy is the lack of autonomy due to the pegged exchange rate system with the US dollar. This paper attempts to study the market dynamics of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, drivers responsible for inflation and measures that has been taken by the government to deal with the situation.

An overwhelming number of Canadians believe that a national school food program (SFP) would benefit children, but concerns around limited funding are frequently raised. SFPs across Canada are struggling to meet increasing demands due to rising food costs, meaning that food quality and quantity within existing SFPs are suffering. This paper discusses the urgency to implement a cost-shared and federally funded SFP amidst the current economic context and lack of clear direction from the federal government. The paper also explores ways in which federal funding for school meals can help to reduce the rate of chronic diseases and actualize many proven physical and mental health benefits for Canadians, all of which have positive and long-term downstream effects on the country’s economy.Un nombre considérable de Canadiens et Canadiennes pensent qu’un programme national d’alimentation scolaire (PAS) serait bénéfique pour les enfants, mais des préoccupations sont fréquemment soulevées à propos des limites du financement. Partout au Canada, les PAS s’efforcent de répondre à une demande croissante en raison de l’augmentation du coût des aliments, ce qui signifie que la qualité et la quantité des denrées alimentaires offertes par ces programmes en pâtissent. Cet article traite de l’urgence, dans le contexte économique actuel et en l’absence d’une orientation claire de la part du gouvernement fédéral, de mettre en œuvre un PAS à coûts partagés et financé par le gouvernement fédéral. Il explore également les moyens par lesquels le financement fédéral des repas scolaires peut contribuer à réduire le taux de maladies chroniques et à faire advenir de nombreux bienfaits reconnus pour la santé physique et mentale des Canadiens et Canadiennes, le tout ayant des effets positifs à long terme sur l’économie du pays.

Abstract

Food price inflation is an important metric to inform economic policy but traditional sources of consumer prices are often produced with delay during crises and only at an aggregate level. This may poorly reflect the actual price trends in rural or poverty-stricken areas, where large populations reside in fragile situations. This data set includes food price estimates and is intended to help gain insight in price developments beyond what can be formally measured by traditional methods. The estimates are generated using a machine-learning approach that imputes ongoing subnational price surveys, often with accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The data set provides new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in areas where populations are sensitive to localized price shocks and where traditional data are not available.

        A dataset of monthly food price inflation estimates (aggregated for all food products available in the data) is also available for all countries covered by this modeling exercise.

Geographic coverage notes

The data cover the following sub-national areas: North, South, Artibonite, Centre, South-East, Grande'Anse, North-East, West, North-West, Market Average
