Inflation: Its Impact on Corporate Earning and Valuations

The Jamaica Stock Exchange & You

It's The Jamaica Stock Exchange & You Podcast, and I am your host, Heneka Watkis-Porter.

This episode of The Jamaica Stock Exchange and You is brought to you by NCB Capital Markets. Inflation is a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services, which results in a corresponding reduction in the purchasing power of money. But how does inflation affect corporate earnings and valuations? Chivel Greenland, Research Analyst at NCB Capital Markets, will explain.

Some of what we looked at were:

• How inflation can destroy shareholder value?
• How can corporations do more than just catch up to inflation but beat it?
• What is needed to curb inflation?
• How to preserve shareholder value?

And lots more.
