The comments from the Bank of England chief economist, Andy Haldane, suggest there could be inflation in store, as the 成人快手's Victoria Craig reports. And in the US, inflation is also a concern as we hear from economist Chris Low of FHN Financial. Also in the programme, as Greece prepares to reopen for international visitors, we speak to hotelier George Filippidis about how his business has coped with a lack of trade. Plus, we examine the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on church finances around the world.
