U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce on Monday the end of self-isolation rules for people in England who test positive for Covid-19, scrapping the last of the pandemic restrictions that have dominated daily life for the past two years. The dramatic step is due to take effect later this month and would move England beyond other major Western countries in relaxing virus curbs.
Inflation has hit recent record highs in economies around the world, with central banks expected to begin tightening monetary policy. Debate continues on whether it is transitory but the increase in the cost of living is already having a significant impact for many. This week, look out for rate releases in France, Italy and the EU. During the pandemic, house prices have soared in many regions and in the coming days house price index data will be released in the U.K., U.S. and China.
All times are Eastern and subject to change.
