| Title | Does the imposition of international sanctions have a measurable impact on the inflation rates of the targeted country? |
| Summary | The influence of international sanctions on the inflation rates of the nations under study— Iran, Syria, Belarus, and Russia—is examined in this paper. The main goals are to calculate how much of an impact sanctions have on inflation, examine the relationship between the severity of sanctions and inflation rates, and draw policy recommendations. Using inflation statistics from trustworthy sources, the paper uses a quantitative analytical technique together with a comparative case study. The main conclusions show that the harshness of punishments and inflation rates are correlated to differing extent. According to a somewhat positive connection, sanctions in Iran greatly raise inflation. Syria's weakly positive correlation indicates that, among other factors like internal strife, sanctions are a small one. With its very significant positive connection, Belarus shows that sanctions have a direct effect on inflation. In contrast, Russia shows a somewhat negative connection, suggesting that, perhaps as a result of successful countermeasures, higher sanctions intensity is linked to lower inflation rates. All things considered, the report emphasizes how intricately international sanctions and inflation are related, emphasizing the serious economic consequences and the need for decision-makers to take these effects into account. The results offer guidance for raising the efficacy of sanctions while reducing the negative economic effects on civilian populations. |
