Hand Sanitizer Guidance to Expire December 31, 2021 Due to the withdrawal of the Food and Drug Administration’s temporary guidance related to the manufacture of hand sanitizer and denatured alcohol for use in hand sanitizer, we will not renew the authorizations provided in TTB G 2020-1D beyond December 31, 2021. Industry members therefore must cease production under this TTB guidance by December 31, 2021. Beverage distilled spirits plants must remove from their bonded premises any alcohol intended for industrial use, and alcohol fuel plants must remove from their bonded premises any alcohol intended for non-fuel use by December 31, 2021.  However, industry members may continue to distribute hand sanitizer produced under TTB’s guidance through March 31, 2022.

New analysis shows how increases in shipping rates have a persistent impact on consumer prices.

Dear maria, We just published a new blog—please find the full text below. Higher Shipping Costs May Lift Asia’s Low Inflation (PHOTO: TRAVEL MAN/ADOBE STOCK) By Yan Carrière-Swallow , Pragyan Deb and Daniel Jiménez New analysis shows how increases in shipping rates have a persistent impact on consumer prices. As the world economy recovers from the pandemic, inflation is mounting in advanced and emerging economies. Pent-up demand fueled by stimulus and pandemic disruptions is helping accelerate inflation, spread around the world through global factors like higher food and energy prices, and soaring shipping costs. The chart of the week shows how Asia’s inflation has been more moderate versus other regions, affording central banks room to keep interest rates low and support economic recovery. However, Asia’s tepid price gains may see greater momentum next year. The outlook remains uncertain, and central banks should be ready to tighten policy if inflation pressures and expectations mount. Several factors explain Asia’s lower inflation. Among Asia’s emerging economies, a delayed recovery has kept core inflation—which strips out volatile food and energy costs—running at half the rate of peers in other regions. And the cost of food—which makes up about one third of the consumer price index baskets—grew 1.6 percent over the past year, versus 9.1 percent in other regions . This reflects unique factors such as a solid harvest in India, a hog population rebound from a recent swine flu epidemic in China, and contained increases in rice prices. By contrast, lower inflation in Asia’s advanced economies reflects a different set of factors. The region has enjoyed more muted energy inflation than Europe and the United States. Finally, some Asian countries managed the pandemic in a way that avoided major supply disruptions and the associated pressure on prices. Korea embraced comprehensive contact tracing and testing, for example, while Australia and China contained infections with border closures and localized lockdowns. Broad inflationary pressures will eventually moderate globally, as supply-demand mismatches ease and stimulus recedes. But in 2022, as the recovery strengthens, the persistent impact of high shipping costs could put an end to the benign inflation Asia has enjoyed in 2021. One benchmark measure of global shipping costs, the Baltic Dry Index, tripled this year through October: our analysis shows such large increases in shipping costs boost inflation for 12 months, which could add about 1.5 percentage points to the pace of Asia’s inflation in the second half of 2022. The region’s policymakers must be ready to act. Jeff Kearns Managing Editor IMF Blog jkearns@IMF.org   Thank you again for your interest in IMF Blog. Read more of our latest content here.
