Europe faces record levels of poverty

25

The European Union and a number of European countries that are not members of this association introduced against Russia economic sanctions after the start of the special operation of the RF Armed Forces on the territory of Ukraine. However, just a month later, it turned out that due to anti-Russian restrictions, Europe was faced with a record level of poverty among its population. This was reported by the American agency Bloomberg, giving statistical details.

The EU leadership planned that 2022 would be a turning point in the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and an era of prosperity would begin. However, the new cold war against Moscow proved to be more attractive than the well-being of ordinary Europeans. This is exactly the case when political preference took over.



For example, in Denmark, inflation reached a 37-year high and rose to 5,4% from 2%. Moreover, the shortage of labor was added to the increase in energy prices. Perhaps Copenhagen did not have enough of the very refugees from Iraq, from whom Warsaw heroically defended the EU on the Polish-Belarusian border in 2021.

At the same time, in the UK, inflation is already approaching 8%, although in February it did not exceed 6%. Utility bills for the average British household are 73% higher than they were in the same period a year earlier. Currently, the standard of living of the British is rapidly sliding down to the 50s of the twentieth century.

Until recently, the Czech Republic, which was quite prosperous and stable, recorded a record inflation rate of 12,7%. This is due to rising prices for gasoline (+50%), electricity (+24,7%) and gas (+37,7%), which drag everything else. The last time something like this was observed was in 1998.

The main "locomotive" of the EU - Germany - also did not stay away from what is happening. In March, inflation in Germany reached 7,3%, which was a 40-year record. The Germans themselves are in shock, to be honest.

At the same time, German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock said that the situation in Ukraine is reflected in rising food prices in Germany. She also drew attention to the shortage of sunflower oil and wheat flour on the shelves of German stores.

Now agricultural land is being destroyed, crops are not properly harvested from the fields, <…> warehouses and ports are being destroyed

she said about Ukraine before her visit to Mali and Niger.

Burbock noted that the food crisis is an existential threat for many countries of the world. As a result, millions of people who live in fragile countries and are malnourished are at risk of starvation.

Before that, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner announced a likely decline in the welfare of the country's citizens, and German experts predicted a serious rise in beer prices in Germany.

    This is just the beginning, they are slowly beginning to feel what it means to live outside the privileged club without the benefits of a reserve currency.
    The rise in food prices is still ahead, as far as I understand the situation, their retail chains operate on the verge of profitability. Everything is still based on long-term contracts and the desire of companies to retain market share. I don’t remember the exact figures (too lazy to rummage through the article to look for), the profit of networkers in the range of 2-4% is considered not the worst. (which evokes bad thoughts about local merchants feel and the desire to break the integrity of their neck sad). But we're on the other side...
    In general, if (probably more correctly when) this dam breaks through, unforgettable impressions of going for bread await many Europeans Yes

      in the west wholesalers profit of 1 percent is considered not bad. I know this for sure, I say it with confidence, I won’t say anything about retail, I haven’t come across it, although I saw that the same product in different stores can vary in price by 50 percent. We only have wholesalers for rare food products, less than 10 sometimes, and so everything is somewhere around 50. Retail (that is, retail) is also only rare products can be marked up by 10 percent, everything else up to 100 percent is easy, sometimes they charge more than 100 percent. But this is in our ordinary life, now everyone (with rare exceptions) has increased prices by 50-100 percent over the past two months, and without any justification. And therefore, we do not need to tell us about 5-7 percent, by the way, on an annualized basis in the EU. They already had somewhere around 3 percent of inflation ... We now have an increase of 50 percent not on an annualized basis, but on a monthly basis ..

        Well, if you don’t need to tell, then I won’t, I’ll just show you. Germany, February (more recent data not yet available), food and drink 5%.
        https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/macroeconomic_and_sectoral/hicp/html/index.en.html


        Lithuania, February, food and drink 15,4%.


        If you notice the cost of groceries for the most "popular" item, the rise in the cost of utilities and transportation is much higher. So that...
        1) If you think this is Kremlin propaganda, contact the European Central Bank, link above. Maybe they have their own Nabiullina there and you will expose her, they don’t mislead people and don’t lie by inflating price increases.
        2) Inflation is calculated on a huge array of goods, you are trying to measure it by the fact that some of the goods have risen in price by 50-100%. It is not right. If you are interested in what Rosstat thinks, then here is a link for you, study it for your health.
        https://rosstat.gov.ru/ps/inflation/
        3) In Europe and other countries, calculations are carried out according to similar methods. I don’t need to tell me fairy tales that they show real numbers, but we underestimate them and that they have annual inflation, we don’t need hourly inflation. Adepts of the order ROSSTATSEVRET really zadolbali.
        I can tell you with the same success that electricity prices there have grown many times, and if you take into account the increase in the cost of fuel, they underestimate inflation because all this is included in the cost of almost all goods. This means that their inflation is actually 200-300% and the "erostat" is lying. And what do we come to? We will take it by the throat and see who will over-yell whom?
        And yes, you will not believe it, I have not yet been able to get rid of the habit of eating. so I still go to the shops. I don’t particularly track prices, but I can’t claim that the total check has grown by 50-100%, because this is not so.

          Would you like to post fresh pictures right now? I can for example from Italy. About a month ago, their gasoline at gas stations rose sharply to 2,5 euros per liter, but now it’s already about 1,9. Personally
          I, two years ago, refueled for 1,75 per liter in Italy, although I saw price tags at 1,35. There is no hype with food, about which our press is buzzing. Also, about a month ago, there was some excitement in some stores due to logistics failures due to the fact that a wave of strikes swept. But everything quickly improved. But since in Italy there are a huge number of grocery sales networks, except for small towns, there were no problems with butter and flour anywhere. Nowhere with pasta. Might have been somewhere but I don't know.

          at the moment, what has clearly risen in price is gasoline, by 25 percent from the original 70 percent from those prices that were before the war. That is, you see that there is a tendency to calm the hysteria and the price stabilizes. The prices of other commodities have clearly not risen at all. Perhaps the effects will appear after a while, but so far no increase is visible.
          And Rosstat is lying. I don’t run honestly and don’t follow the price tags, as it happened, but I have an observation: every other day I buy the same kind of milk and two pastry rolls for morning tea, coffee or champagne))0 So, in January, this set of products cost somewhere around 80 kopecks, now it has already exceeded a hundred, I can say for sure that it is 108 rubles. That is, it has grown somewhere by 20-25 percent. By the way, for a month now, the roll has been sold without raisins .. Still grapes ... all the time I bought somewhere in the region of 100-150 rubles per kilo, and right now, 280 in the store that I always took and this is supposedly still on sale .. I'm not talking about sugar that was thrown twice about some Russian-made vegetables, which also drastically rushed in price .. And I also have a craft and there all my sources (mainly Russian-made) have risen in price by 50 - 100 percent, and everything is completely.
          In the same Italy, gasoline prices were quickly tightened and reduced, but in our country no one can take a steam bath on this topic, even though the ruble exchange rate seems to have grown .. well, yes, the price of gasoline fell by 2 rubles, but it is already quietly winning back the fall ...

            Why do I need your personal photos? Show that the data do not match the official statistics? Are you surprised by this? I have already tried to explain to you that the calculation method is such that prices rise for something, for something they don’t, and for some crap that no one needs, they even fall, then they add it all up, divide it and get numbers. And you see others in the store. And so it is in almost all countries. Is it that hard to understand?

            And Rosstat is lying. I don’t run honestly and don’t follow the price tags, as it happened, but I have an observation: I buy the same sort of milk every other day

            Well, then, following your logic, absolutely everyone lies and does it in about the same way. If you think that Rosstat underestimated by 2 times, then multiply everything by two in the same way in other countries and calm down on that. Here in your beloved Italy, products have risen in price by 5%, consider 10, housing and communal services by 27%, consider that 54% (data for February, March are too shy to show)


            Do you need any alternative data? So it's not a problem these days. I can offer you this option.
            https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/country/italy

            They write a liter of milk in Italy costs about €1,36, a dozen eggs €3,52, a liter of gasoline €1,75, a kilogram of chicken breast €9,1, heating per person €123 per month. In general, look at health.
            Are you saying their prices are not going up? Well, they themselves write that they are growing. And they grow on energy and on products.
            https://www.idealista.it/news/finanza/economia/2022/03/31/158418-la-ricetta-di-draghi-contro-inflazione-e-aumento-dei-prezzi

            And the famous pasta write rise in price

            as Italy depends on a significant amount of imports from Russia and Ukraine.

            https://www.thelocal.com/20220303/war-and-energy-prices-why-the-cost-of-pasta-could-rise-in-italy/

            But at least you have a stake on your head, Rosstat is lying, everything is becoming more expensive in our country, but it’s not there, it’s different there. I don't know how to talk to you anymore.

              and how do you want to surprise me? you do not try to talk about what prices are there, I know everything. I can also post pictures from the Russian Metro with the price of meat for 10 euros per kilo. But We are discussing price increases. If they have inflation of 7 percent on an annualized basis, then on average the price rises by 0,5 percent per month. If everything went up in price by 0,5 percent a month, I would be immensely happy. Have you ever seen what happened to us? Even when it was officially announced about 4-5 percent, everything still went up in price, maybe not so clearly, but in six months it manifested itself. And this is not 0,2, but it was clearly visible that 5-10 in six months .. I know the counting system. It’s just that, along the way, every time, the most rapidly rising products are not included in this scheme, and for the people they give out idiotic numbers that do not at all correspond to what people see in the store.
              Italy is not very dependent on imports of Russian and Ukrainian flour and grain. Basically, Italy in Russia and Ukraine buys soft varieties that do not go to the same pasta. It's all just for buns and confectionery. And there is no need to lie. And they make their pasta almost exclusively from their own grain.
              Moreover, the authorities of the EU, especially cx countries, very easily regulate the increased costs of fuel and lubricants and some types of raw materials, throwing off excises and taxes. Have you ever seen that even if in the Russian Federation somewhere they slightly reduce taxes for producers, prices would decrease? This is not possible in our country. Even when at the beginning of the war on the stock exchange in St. Petersburg the price of gasoline fell by 20 percent, at our gas stations it either did not fall at all or by 2 rubles, which is somewhere around 5 percent of everything ..

                In my opinion, you began to offer pictures to show and talk about prices? Or not?
                Let's decide what you want to talk about, prices from photos or statistics?

                If they have inflation of 7 percent on an annualized basis, then on average the price rises by 0,5 percent per month. If everything went up in price by 0,5 percent a month, I would be immensely happy. Have you ever seen what happened to us?

                Will you confine yourself to the role of captain-obviousness, stating that our inflation is higher or will we talk about the reasons? If the first option, then what to talk about? Inflation is indeed higher. Does anyone hide it or deny it?

                Even when it was officially announced about 4-5 percent, everything still went up in price, maybe not so clearly, but it manifested itself in six months. And this is not 0,2, but it was clearly visible that 5-10 in six months
                It's just that, along the way, every time, the most rapidly rising products are not included in this scheme, and for the people they give out idiotic numbers that do not at all correspond to what people see in the store

                As I understand it, you are again promoting the thesis that they believe it is correct, but we have official statistics, but are there real ones? Well, it's not like that. I fully admit that official statistics tend to underestimate the figures of statistics. After all, they are officials and try to show their work and beautiful statistics. But an official is an international concept, exactly the same way they act here and abroad. In Europe, I didn’t set out to dig something like that, but remember the screenshots with numbers above there? So I looked at a similar interactive map for the EU countries, as soon as problems with energy prices began, data on gasoline, gas, electricity disappeared, and one common housing and communal services appeared instead. Ugly figures were hidden there, mixed with those that are not growing, and as a result, the growth is no longer so impressive. As an example of such activities of officials, I can cite the United States, where they have repeatedly changed the method of calculation, otherwise the numbers would have been double-digit for a long time.
                http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts

                So in my opinion there is no other option for comparison as official statistics. Of course, you can keep in mind that the numbers are underestimated, but do not forget that they are underestimated everywhere.

                Italy is not very dependent on imports of Russian and Ukrainian flour and grain. Basically, Italy in Russia and Ukraine buys soft varieties that do not go to the same pasta. It's all just for buns and confectionery. And there is no need to lie. And they make their pasta almost exclusively from their own grain.

                Are you trying to convince me of this? I left you links to articles and they were not written by the Kremlin. Try to communicate with them, it looks like they are slandering themselves and slandering their own country. Unmask them. Or confirm with real data that they are lying. In the meantime, I'm sorry, but these are just your words.

                Moreover, the authorities of the EU, especially cx countries, very easily regulate the increased costs of fuel and lubricants and some types of raw materials, throwing off excises and taxes.

                Have you decided to praise European officials? So why did they flood inflation if they regulate everything so easily?

                Have you ever seen that even if in the Russian Federation somewhere they slightly reduce taxes for producers, prices would decrease? This is not possible in our country. Even when at the beginning of the war on the stock exchange in St. Petersburg the price of gasoline fell by 20 percent, at our gas stations it either did not fall at all or by 2 rubles, which is somewhere around 5 percent of everything ..

                Well, it's probably worth to start to see what they write about it. Maybe you were banned on the Internet, I have no problems with that. Scored in the search for tax cuts for agricultural producers. First links I came across:

                Twice reduced the tax for agricultural producers of the South Urals

                https://gubernia74.ru/articles/news/1104237/

                In Bashkiria, the single agricultural tax rate has been reduced from 6% to 0% for two years
                https://www.bashinform.ru/news/economy/2022-01-27/v-bashkirii-na-dva-goda-snizili-stavku-edinogo-selhoznaloga-s-6-do-0-2670294

                As you can see, there are examples, Or are Bashkiria and Chelyabinsk not our country?
                You can delve into the topic and look at measures to support farmers, there are preferential loans and much more.
                Gasoline pricing is a separate issue for us. Do you like American prices when prices rise and fall following world prices? I'm not sure everyone wants this. Moreover, the price on the stock exchange for raw materials (oil) has practically no effect on the cost of gasoline, its share is not at all large. Do not forget that we have a different taxation system. For some reason you do not compare the income tax in our country and in Europe. Or property tax? Do you want the excise tax on gasoline to be transferred to income tax? Or are taxes generally a relic of the past? Not? Well, then, probably, it is necessary to compare the tax burden as a whole, and not to pull out fragments and tell tales of how the tax 3 hides from us.

                  you are trying too much to write husks here, trying to get away from the topic of discussion. What for? There is no increase in poverty in the EU, because the authorities immediately apply measures to stabilize the situation. The fact that the estimated inflation rate has doubled is not critical for the EU. Moreover , after a sharp spurt in the early days , now for almost all those goods where there was an increase , prices have returned to their original or very close levels and inflation on an annualized basis is also falling . In addition, the costs for food in the EU from the level of income are very small, and the authorities will definitely not raise taxes and excises.
                  And I wanted to show pictures to show that the stores are full of pasta and flour and vegetable oil and the prices there are the same as they were in NG. Here, I have not seen that at least something has fallen in price. And here the question arises: who faces the impoverishment of the people: Europe or Russia?

                    Have you confused anything? It turns out that we are discussing the level of poverty in Europe, and how successfully do local authorities resist this? Why are you telling me fairy tales about Rosstat?
                    That is, everything is fine with them, thanks to the heroic efforts of European officials, prices have returned to their previous level, inflation is falling? I did not confuse anything?
                    Of course, you will forgive, but you are telling things in my opinion that clearly do not correspond to reality. I would be very grateful to you if you backed up your words with some statistics, I'm afraid just your words and promises to send a photo of the price tags are not enough. And it turns out that the statistics are lying, the European press is lying, but you alone know the truth.

                    The fact that the estimated inflation rate has doubled is not critical for the EU.

                    Fine! Estimated inflation rate? Twice? Are you seriously? belay
                    If the links that I showed you are not enough for you, I can offer one more, here is inflation for the G20 countries, which, as you know, also includes some European countries. On the plate you can track the growth of inflation on a monthly basis. In your beloved Italy last April it was 1%, now it is 7%. Don't you find that this is somewhat more than 2 times?
                    https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=G20_PRICES


                    In addition, the costs for food in the EU from the level of income are very small, and the authorities will definitely not raise taxes and excises.

                    Indeed, you are right, food expenses do not occupy the largest share of the family budget. But besides this, they need to live somewhere, somehow heat this place and possibly use electricity, and here prices are growing at a faster pace.
                    And do not worry, everything is still ahead of them, they still manage to restrain the rise in food prices, but it is not known how long this will last. Everything is still ahead of them and the rise in food prices and taxes with excises.

                      are you all right in the head? If inflation was 3-4 percent a year, it was somewhere around 0,3 percent a month and suddenly doubled up to 7 or 0,6 percent a month, and therefore, all of a sudden, the people in Europe began to beg and starve. we would have their problems when we have a stable 10 a year, and here last month it was stable by 20-30 for basic foodstuffs. per month . On an annualized basis, it is already 200-300 percent, but we are getting richer and fatter.
                      So I’ll say one more thing: 7 percent on an annualized basis or 0,6 per month was in one month, by the next the prices either returned to normal or remain higher than they were before the start of the war, but actually fell compared to the last month .. And this a rather narrow assortment that most people can do without or replace, since there is enough choice. You know, when vegetable oil began to cost as much as olive oil, I would buy olive oil ..
                      and I repeat once again, at least the authorities there are doing something to smooth out the sharp growth in our country, nothing, nothing at all. Not a single huckster was caught or punished.

                        I repeat again more slowly. Italy. April 2021. Inflation 1%. Italy. March 2022. Inflation 7%.

                        What is 0,3% per month? Can you provide a link to the calculator? Can you check? Inflation is accelerating, can't you see it?
                        For comparison, Russia
                        December 8,4% January 8,7% (+0,3%) February 9,2% (+0,5%)
                        What does it have to do with the people in Europe begging or starving? They just stop receiving "bonuses" from using the reserve currency, they can no longer live off the printing press. Yes, we will now have higher inflation, the Europeans and Americans are shitting as best they can, but it will return to them like a boomerang.

                        we would have their problems when we have a stable 10 a year, and here last month it was stable by 20-30 for basic foodstuffs. per month . On an annualized basis, it is already 200-300 percent, but we are getting richer and fatter.

                        Why do you need other people's problems? It looks like you have enough of your own, for sure you annoy those around you with your "thoughtfulness" sad We have a 20-30 "fuck" for food, they have 100% for electricity, gas, electricity, or even more. at the same time, we have horror, but they have nothing to worry about and everything is fine. Here is an example for you, people rejoice in life.

                        Henry Backhaus, 65, is among tens of thousands of Germans turned away by private energy companies who couldn't afford to buy electricity and gas in bulk at skyrocketing prices. According to German law, the local public utility was supposed to intervene, but she sent him a bill for 747 euros (nearly $850) a month, more than he paid in a whole year.

                        What kind of 200-300% a year are you talking about, I don’t understand request this is some bullshit fool

                        So I’ll say one more thing: 7 percent on an annualized basis or 0,6 per month was in one month, by the next the prices either returned to normal or remain higher than they were before the start of the war, but actually fell compared to the last month .. And this a rather narrow assortment that most people can do without or replace, since there is enough choice. You know, when vegetable oil began to cost as much as olive oil, I would buy olive oil ..

                        I don't know why prices have returned there, but inflation is rising. Inflation and rising prices are inseparable. I don’t understand how inflation can rise and prices fall at the same time, this is some kind of alternative economy.
                        Of course, you can use olive oil instead of vegetable oil, though you still have to get used to frying it, but that's it. The fact is that olive and sunflower oil began to cost the same, not because olive oil has fallen in price, but precisely because vegetable oil has risen in price. And you say prices are not rising.

                        and I repeat once again, at least the authorities there are doing something to smooth out the sharp growth in our country, nothing, nothing at all. Not a single huckster was caught or punished.

                        Come on laughing What have they done to lower energy prices? What huckster was punished? Advised to "fasten" and wean from meat lol
                        I personally do not have any "sharp growth" in energy carriers.

      We are used to the fact that they print toilet paper, and we get inflation.

    But in our country, prices in stores are "falling" to a record high, and housing and communal services have "cheaper" (exports have been blocked)
    The people are directly "rejoicing" that everything is becoming more expensive for them, and it is "cheaper" for us.

      But our prices don't go up. And in general, in my opinion, the capitalist system does not involve lowering prices. If it's wrong, correct it.

        There is nothing to correct here, you are just talking about "classical" capitalism, that is, a simplified scheme - invested, production costs, taxes, sold, made a profit.
        And for these figures with the economy of the "printing press" deflation was not uncommon. You know, your little printing press is a handy thing and makes life much easier.
        Now they are left without the benefits of a reserve currency and begin to slurp real life.

    we would have had their inflation of 5%)), we would not have lived in trouble, but with our real inflation of 50-100%, the population is already declining like in Africa, despite cheap gas, energy, and gasoline.
    It is possible to stop the rise in prices and the depreciation of the ruble easily and for a long time, but the liberal policy of the authorities does not allow this to be done - you cannot fill a leaky bucket, you have to patch up the bottom and return to Socialism.

    and the problems of the West are easily solved by printing trillions of dollars - euros, as well as by bombing (robbery) of countries with resources

      Emotions are understandable, but that's just ...
      1) Their inflation is not 5%, and ours is not 100%. Just do not tell us that inflation is underestimated in our country, but there, on the contrary, they are overestimating it.
      2) With population growth, Europe is not much different from us, and in Africa there is just a record increase, rabbits gnaw their ears in the corner with envy.
      3) It is not clear how gas and gasoline prices affect fertility.

      It is possible to stop the rise in prices and the depreciation of the ruble easily and for a long time, but the liberal policy of the authorities does not allow this to be done - you cannot fill a leaky bucket, you have to patch up the bottom and return to Socialism.

      As I understand it, in Europe right now liberalism has seized power, but before that there was socialism? Or why did their prices go up?

      and the problems of the West are easily solved by printing trillions of dollars - euros, as well as by bombing (robbery) of countries with resources

      They are already used to this medicine, the virus has adapted and it does not help. And the machine is working, but prices are growing and not very much with the bombing, the Afghans drove them away with hoes. There are not so many countries with resources left and they understand that it is hard in a village without a revolver. so it's not that simple either.

    Now agricultural land is being destroyed, crops are not properly harvested from the fields, <…> warehouses and ports are being destroyed

    And what will happen to food in Ukraine by winter? If they suddenly begin to blame Russia for organizing the Holodomor, then Russia needs to calculate how many dollars of aid the West provided to Ukraine? And why didn't Ukraine buy food with this money? Where is she doing them? Into the pockets of the Yatsenyuks and Zelenskys? Then what does Russia have to do with it? In Ukraine, it is not yet the Russian prosecutor who is dealing with the disappearance of Western aid on the territory of Ukraine. It turns out that whoever rules Ukraine organized the Holodomor there.

      It seems that you forgot with whom you have business, as you are going to discuss something with sane people winked
      They know for sure that the last fodder hedgehogs of the NKVD were evicted to Siberia on foot, and Shukhevych personally breast-fed all the "patriots" laughing
      Ukravtodor has already counted their losses at 30 billion bourgeois candy wrappers. They say all the autobahns are cursed by the Khresors destroyed. That's right, and they believe that they had roads. But in fact, as the Balts for the occupation, clowns hit the count of reparations. In fact, they want to demand for what was ruined from what was built under the USSR and for the bridges that they blew up. At least they have a stake on their heads. Wow glory! and that's it. This is a diagnosis.

      out of 170 kilometers out of 170 kilometers, 23 kilometers of public roads were destroyed. In addition, 273 artificial structures, including bridges, overpasses, etc. were also destroyed.
      “The total amount that we have already calculated is UAH 874 billion. In other words, this is the amount for the restoration of man-made structures and roads destroyed during the war, including UAH 835 billion for roads, UAH 39 billion for bridges.”

    Russia has a huge potential for economic growth through internal reforms. Management efficiency, the fight against corruption - perhaps 30-50% of the country's GDP is hidden here. What would Russia be like if the entire state structure consisted of, for example, the Swedes or the Swiss? Corruption and empty officials = losses in the economy are worse than sanctions. It's time for the big purge.

    and in general, do not talk nonsense about poverty in Europe suddenly formed from sanctions. Well, yes, there was some speculative explosion in fuel prices and in some stores there were some disruptions in the supply of certain goods, but everything settled down a long time ago. The price of gasoline has stabilized around 2 euros, which is not scary for the EU, since in my years of travel I saw 1,8 per liter in Italy, and now there is 1,9. This is 50 percent of our food thrown in and no one is going to reduce .. Wow, shit

      Where exactly did you notice a 50% rise in food prices? I follow the prices in stores and I can tell you for sure that you are exaggerating. On the strength of 20-25%.
