XBB.1.16

March 23, 2023
  • Recently, XBB.1.16 was found to be the variant behind India’s new COVID spike.
  • Two recombinant lineages of SARS-CoV-2 are currently designated as ‘Variants Under Monitoring’ by the World Health Organization:
    1. XBB, a recombinant of Omicron sublineages BA.2.10.1 and BA.2.75, and
    2. XBF, a recombinant of BA.5.2.3 and BA.2.75.3 Omicron sublineages.
  • The lineage 1.5, a sublineage of the XBB has functional advantages over currently circulating variants such as increased transmissibility in populations with prior immunity to the virus.
  • Based on preliminary data, there is no evidence to suggest that infections with the XBB.1.16 lineage differ in clinical severity from those caused by other Omicron lineages.
  • It however has a higher risk of reinfection compared to other circulating Omicron lineages.

Sticky inflation

March 23, 2023

  • Sticky inflation is often associated with cost-push factors, i.e. factors which cause a rise in the inflation rate but also lead to lower spending and economic growth.
  • Inflation takes longer than expected to fall essentially because higher food and fuel prices get seeped into broader economy and made other things costlier.
