Rising inflation rates are eating away at the mini- or minus interest rates on government securities.

Corona vaccines: Emergency shot for the health sector
Corona has had a tight grip on the world for more than a year. One of the losers is the health sector as fewer operations were performed and less drugs were prescribed during the lockdown. The Corona vaccines are now the home-grown salvation for the health sector.
