    Most likely YES. Central bankers has a very hard job to accomplish now. Raising rates to tackle inflation (with a lot of unknown with regards to War, China Lockdown etc) without leading to a recession... I think the FED could be able to arrange a soft landing somehow because US starts from a better point in terms of growth and demand. For Uk and EU probability of a non-recession is even lower.

    @ludovico_petrali I agree, theres a tough task ahead for the FED, and a soft landing is the best case scenario here. If inflation gets under control then the FED will have an opportunity to be more dovish, but until then, we are going to continue to get squeezed. As a startup, I think if you can grow and maintain runway, then you have a good chance at coming out of this stronger
