Certainly not an economist, although I have studied a bit of economics.....
....enough to know that putting up interest rates on its own won't solve the inflation problem.
Rising prices can come from a reduction in supply or increase in demand. Interest rates are a tool to suppress the latter - because it makes it harder for individuals to borrow and/or individuals who have previously borrowed are going to be spending a greater proportion of their disposable income servicing their debt.
But the problem is that the current crisis is mostly caused by supply-side problems - and not just the Ukraine war, but also the knock-on effects of the Covid shutdown, particularly in China. And actually if you go overboard on raising interest rates, you risk tanking the economy and exacerbating that supply shock.
Plenty of economists would argue that rather than viewing interest rates as a catch-all solution for inflation, we'd be better off accepting that prices are going to be high until the supply side issues are resolved one way or another, and in the meantime spend more resources on social programs to help individual citizens get through it and redistribute more wealth away from big corporations to the less well off in society (e.g. improved child care, increased minimum wage, windfall taxes etc. etc.)
In total agreement.
