Inflation to rise - BBC predict VAT @ 20% soon

BBC: Abu Dhabi ATM swaps cash for gold

An Abu Dhabi hotel has installed an ATM-style gold dispenser to give customers easy access to the precious metal. It comes as gold prices have reached record highs in recent days (currently $1245). Food & energy prices can only go up IMHO.
