The millions of tourists receiving Rome are uploading the price of the carbonara. And the neighbors have tired

by

In Italy La Carbonara it’s a Gastronomic emblem. Now also a symbol against Tourist massification. Before the perspective that Rome is filled this year of millions of visitors attracted to the 2025 jubilee and that this avalanche triggers (even more) the prices of certain services, such as the menus of the treatments, An association of consumers has proposed to institutions and hoteliers to seal a ‘carbonara pact’ that guarantees that they will apply “fair” rates To the dishes. And they have a figure in mind: 12 euros. A figure: 35 million. Rome is a enormous gigantic tourist destination. Probably one of the largest on the planet. That is no novelty. Your City Council Calculate that last year he received 51.4 million visitors, a historical record that leads local authorities to refer to its city as “the capital of tourism” (capital letters are yours). A new element will be added to that interest in the eternal city: the 2025 jubilee, an appointment that according to the Italian Ministry of Tourism will attract More than 35 million of visitors. And how will it affect prices? That is the question that was asked A few months ago Consumerismo no Profit, an association of consumer -based consumer. In An open letter Its president, Luigi Gabriele, recalls the forecasts of visitors to the jubilee and shows his concern to the perspective that this tide of tourists and pilgrims raises prices in the shops and restaurants of the capital. It is not a minor issue if one takes into account that in March the Year -on -year IPC of non -alcoholic foods and drinks was in Italy of 2.6%. “It is undeniable that the increase in demand for goods and services determined by the jubilee runs the risk of provoking deep changes in current price lists, some of which are already underway, taking companies in the area to maximize their profits in 2025,” says Gabriele in Your letterin which he warns of the damage to the image of Rome and the impact for the pockets of both foreign visitors and residents. Objective: Dishes at “righteous” prices. To avoid the association proposed to late 2024 Address the issue at a round table in which both administrations and consumers and businessmen participated. The objective: set a “controlled” or “fair” price for certain typical dishes that have become an emblem of Italian cuisine. Which is it? Gabriele quotes the pasta to the Amatrician and the Carbonara, which “are among the most consumed by tourists.” For that reason, insiststhey are the ones that run the greatest risk of becoming more expensive in 2025. “Our proposal is to define a ‘fair price’ for those dishes, shared with trade associations, recognizing with a special seal or logo those premises who decide to join the initiative,” raises Consumerism not profit. The idea was well received by the City Council, As needed The repubblicaand resulted in what is now known as ‘Carbonara Pact’a “voluntary agreement” for which certain establishments undertake to charge their clients reasonable rates. But … What is reasonable? That is the key. Consumerism does not go into details or Your letter nor in The section of its website dedicated to the ‘Patto della Carbonara’, but over the last months of the Italian press and Foreign It has repeated a figure: 12 euros, a sum for which carbonara pasta dishes could be found in restaurants in the center at the end of 2024, remember Corriere della will. It is not sought that the price drops. But he wants to avoid being shot. “Overcome 11 or 12 euros is not fair for the client. It loses the identity of what Roman cuisine is, which is the dish itself and what it wants to represent,” Explain to The country The owner of a place in Rome. The reasoning is very simple. The defenders of the measure They estimate That preparing a carbonara paste dish is relatively cheap, so taking into account raw materials could be charged for 6.5 euros. To that amount add other extra costs until reaching 12 euros, a price that in its opinion already includes the “margins”. And has it served? One thing is the theory. Another very different facts. Although consumerismo is He has committed To identify the businesses that have been assigned to the ‘Carbonara Pact’ and invites customers has denounced those who do not respect it, there are those who look at the initiative with skepticism. Marina García, journalist and correspondent in Rome, I recently recognized to The country that the pact has not worked too much. “It serves more to open a tourism debate than to have a real impact,” he adds. There are those who, after probe the city’s businesses, He found himself A few months ago, prices already ranged between 12.5 and 19 euros. Or even who speaks that in just a few years the dish has shot from eight to 16 euros. For now, what the agreement has helped is to influence the effect that massive tourism has on a day -to -day basis (And the pocket) of the population, a debate that has occurred in other parts from Italy (Venice, for example) and whom Spain It is not foreign.

Solar energy and the price of light are suffocating it

by

Europe opted for the wind. For years, wind turbines were symbol of the energy transition in the continent; The spearhead of the European renewable industry. But something has been crooked. Wind energy, especially offshore, has stopped its expansion dry While photovoltaic solar grows wildlyapparently unstoppable. A very unequal career. After a few years growing in parallel, the plot beat wind in facilities at the beginning of this decade. Since then, he has been adding between four and five times more capacity than wind every year. They are complementary energies (the wind blows even at night), but it is being an unequal race. Not to say a beating. In 2024, Europe installed more than 65 GW of photovoltaic solar capacity. At the same time, expanded its wind capacity in 16 GWless than the previous year, but in the line of the last 20 years. The industry has gathered. 16,000 industry members gathered in Copenhagen a few days ago to discuss it, a new record of attendees at the Windeurope Biennial Conference. Giants like Orsted asked for a pact for marine wind: according to Bloombergthe most affected branch of the sector. They want long -term contracts supported by governments that guarantee fixed prices for electricity, which gives us a key to the problem: many projects do not take off for financial uncertainty. Wind energy (black) and solar (yellow) facilities since 2000. Image: Bloomberg Electricity too cheap? Europe already has so much renewable capacity that, when the wind blows, wind turbines flood the cheap electricity marketsinking prices (Sometimes until they make them negative), which discourages new investments. Without mechanisms to manage that oversu Green hydrogen production), Building more wind in certain European countries ceases to be profitable. It is not the only problem. Beef by the increase in steel price, the rise in interest rates and complex logistics to transport palas and towers, the wind industry has seen its offices fired. Building wind farms, especially in the sea, is today much more expensive than a few years ago. Wind is also exposed to greater bureaucracy and public opposition than solar. Permits to install wind farms remain a bureaucratic crucis in many regions (if not, tell Galicia). To which the local opposition is added due to the landscape impact, an obstacle that the solar panels (although they also have their own) raffle more easily. A solar sponator. While wind fight against wind and tide (never better), photovoltaic solar lives its golden age thanks, above all, to mass production in China. The oversight has Negative consequences for Chinese companiesbut in Europe we only see the good side: the solar panels are getting cheaperaccessible and efficient. They can also be installed almost anywhere: roofs, wasteland, facades … and its deployment is much faster and modular than that of a wind farm. Self -consumption and energy communities shoot thanks to these facilities, which also explains the decoupling between solar capacity and wind capacity. A global trend. In the rest of the world Three quarters of the same occurs. While global solar facilities grew 34% in 2024, wind turbines barely added 5% capacity. For Europe, which has a strong wind industry and very demanding climatic objectives, it is very bad news. Although solar grows faster, wind usually has a larger plant factor; That is, it produces more energy by megavatio installed throughout the year. They are also complementary energy sources: the wind usually blows stronger in winter and at night, just when the lot falters. We need both to decarbonize the network in a stable and safe way.

Europe is caught in gas contracts with Russia. Now look for a way to break them without paying the price

by

This winter has ended with an alarming fact for gas in Europe: German reserves are practically empty, 7% of their capacity. Energy expert Javier Blas He explained That the winter of 2024-25 has left the very low gas inventories, and the cost to fill the natural reservoir of Rehden amounts to almost 2,000 million euros. In addition, the continent has entered the discount timesince the European Union has demanded that the deposits be filled at 90% before November 1. However, the European Union has made a decision to close the door forever to the dependence of Russian gas. Close the tap to Russia. From Brussels different legal routes are being explored so that European companies can terminate long -term Russian gas contracts without paying large fines to Moscow. According to Financial Timesthe European Commission has been studying the possibility of declaring force majeure to terminate contractual obligations and not have to pay additional rates. The Russian supply. After three years of war that still persists, this situation has caused a great energy crisis in Europe, reducing its dependence on Russian gas. Currently, the Kremlin supply represents 11% of the block compared to almost two fifths at the beginning of the conflict, such as They have detailed in the British environment. From a more economical vision, the EU paid 21.9 billion euros Russia for oil and gas between February 2024 and February 2025, According to the Clean Energy and Air Research Center. And they continue to depend. Russian liquefied natural gas volumes (LNG) They have increased significantly In the last three years. In addition, Russia has continued to export gas disguised under azeri flag or through relations with two member countries, Hungary and Slovakiawhich has generated tensions within the EU. As He has pointed out The Financial Times, there are important ports such as those of France, Spain and Belgium that continue to receive loads of Russian LNG, showing the complexity of cutting energy ties immediately. Until two years. The European Commission has promised a final roadmap to completely cut energy ties with Russia before 2027. Although its publication has already been delayed twice, the document is expected for May 6, According to Reuters. This delay responds to the conversations reactivated by the United States about the future of the Nordstream gas pipeline, which connects Germany and Russia. The project has gained importance amid the efforts of the Trump administration, since they want look for an approach that implies them in gas transmission. Exploring alternatives … The commission, that He has denied To comment to the Financial Times, you are looking for new supplies. United States, which It takes time exporting LNG to Europehas been profiled as the largest supplier and is seen as a viable replacement. However, with the tariff war in dispute Everything will be to see. But there is an unexpected exit. Continuing with the tariffs, which have been intensified in A bilateral war Between China and the United States. The Asian giant He has found A strategic opportunity: take advantage of contracts signed with American gas to resell it to Europe. This phenomenon has exposed how the global mechanisms of energy trade do not respond to political strategies, but to market logics. An uncertain future. Although the date is marked in 2027, the road map has already suffered several delays and remains surrounded by political and commercial unknowns. In addition, the growing tension with the United States and The lack of a really solid energy plan they leave a European Union corrula, reacting too late before the agency with Russia.

The key ingredient of the Torrijas has shot in price. That does not mean that they will be more expensive

by

God squeezes, but does not drown. Not at least if we talk about Torrijas. Although the ovoflation threatened to shoot record levels The cost of one of the typical Sweet cheaper That just a year ago. About 20%. And the reason is simple: perhaps the dozen eggs has more expensive in recent months, but other ingredients, such as Olive oil And sugar, have softened their price. After all, Torrijas are more than a sweet tasty: they are also a curious (and interesting) indicator of how the purchase basket evolves. Don’t say torrijas, say economics. It occurs sometimes that a dish ends up becoming an economic and social thermometer. An example is The “pizzometro”an informal indicator that according to some experts is activated just before global crises. Another clear case is THE BIC MAC INDEXa way of measuring inflation with hamburgers. And a third example is the Waffle House indexwhich allows US authorities to calculate the scope of storms with gofres. In Spain we have The Torrijas. Its combination of bread, milk, sugar, oil and eggs makes them a curious indicator of how IPC evolves. So He claims Sara Herrero, director of Business & Talent by EAE Business School, for whom the sweet is a “good thermometer of the basic basket basket of the basic products of Spanish families.” The problem is that in full ovoflationthis Holy Week that indicator has looked at each other with a special concern. Why’s that? Because Torrijas recipe includes eggs. And these have been expensive exponentially over the last months. In March the OCU calculated that in alone A few weeks The price of the dozen medium eggs had increased about 25%. And the Updated data Facua show that since then they have not been cheaper in most linear. Moreover, the tables prepared by the Toledo Lonja either Bellpuig They reflect that in some cases the price of the eggs has increased, which is in tune with the data collected by the INE itself. His last IPC confirms that in the last month the eggs took care 7.2%well above the general index. Prohibitive Torrijas? That is what some have feared in recent weeks: that in view of the escalation in the price of eggs, with the effect of avian flu and the ovoflation From the United States as a backdrop, tortals fired their price this Holy Week. There are even those who until recently warned that we would meet the “most expensive” sweets. It does not seem to be like that. And not because the eggs are going to be reduced in the short term. The key is other ingredients of the toast that today come out much cheaper than a year ago, which has damping the ovoflation. This concludes A study From EAE Business School, which after analyzing the latest segregated IPC data calculates that preparing Torrijas will come out 19% cheaper that in 2024. IPC Annual variation (March) Ipc variation so far this year (March) Bread 1.8 0.2 Whole milk 3.2 23 Eggs 11.4 8.6 Olive oil -37.9 -19.9 Sugar -15.6 -1,9 Electricity 12.8 5.7 Natural Gas and Gas City 8.4 4 Sugar and oil, rescue. According to EAEthe key to the cheaper is in olive oil and sugar, ingredients that are also used in Easter sweet. The first has seen how its price was reduced by 32%. The second, 15%. Taking into account that today these resources are cheaper, the agency estimates that, in general, the recipe will cost almost 20% less than in 2024. Some calculations go further and suggest the dessert will come out this year 27% cheaper. EAE calculations were made with the Segregated data of the IPC of the month of February. If analyzed those of Marchthe percentage can vary. The reason: the year-on-year IPC last month was more favorable if we talk about olive oil (-37.9%) and sugar (-15.6%), but much worse when we examine the cost of eggs. His interannual rise was that month of the 11.4% compared to 3.8% in February. And the rest of the ingredients? Torrijas are not made solely with eggs, olive oil and sugar. But we analyze The rest of the ingredients We see that its variation with respect to 2024 is not so marked. The PAN recorded in March an interannual CPI of 1.8%, below the general index of 2.3%. The milk did exceed that value slightly, scoring 3.2%, but the increase is minimal compared to that of eggs. What became more expensive is energy. The EAE study concludes that in 2025 the Torrijas will break in any case the tendency to become more expensive that they had been dragging over the last years, which does not mean that in general today they leave much more expensive than four years ago. The agency calculates in particular that the increase was about 53%.

The US tariffs have not yet entered into force, but there is already a console that has risen in price: PlayStation 5

by

Sony has not expected the tariff war which has unleashed the United States ends up impacting the prices of its console, and the price of PlayStation 5 In Europe, including the United Kingdom. According to Bloomberg, it will not be the only territory to suffer this price increase, since it qualifies as “likely“A future ascent also in the United States. Some reasons. The reasons that PlayStation wields In his blog They are “high inflation and fluctuation of exchange rates.” In Europe, this price change will only affect the digital edition of the console, which will cost 499.99 euros, 50 more than it cost so far, that is, the price that a standard PS5 had launch in 2020. This price increase occurs in almost the whole world, and in some areas such as Australia, also upload the price of the console with disc reader. The reader does go down. It is not the only oscillation in official prices, although luckily the record reader will suffer down: it goes from costing € 119.99 to € 79.99. In this way, if we add the updated PS5 cost of Digital and the disk drive, the increase is 10 euros with respect to the added price they had before this Sony announcement. The standard edition with Blu-ray unit does not change the price, staying at € 549.99, and PlayStation 5 pro either does its price of € 799.99. A history of uploads. It is already the second time that the Digital PlayStation rises in price: in August 2022 it has already suffered a rise from € 399.99 launch to 449.99. In that case, the standard PS5 also cost € 499.99 to the current € 549.99. At that time, The reasons used Sony They were “the high world inflation rates” and “adverse monetary trends”, very similar to the official reason for this new climb. Distance with respect to Xbox. This new climb places PS5 in an unknown position in front of its direct rival theoretical, the Xbox Series s From Microsoft, which reached the market at € 299, and has even lived occasional discounts, which places it in the range of 249-299 euros. The 1TB record version, appeared in 2023, is also cheaper than the PS5: € 349. Strategy or crisis? The repetition of reasons to justify this increase may sound like an excuse, but the truth is that the global economic situation is subject to the consequences, not yet calibrated at all, of the war war that is currently being unleashed. There are analysts who already point To that, providing a future rise in the United States, even more severe, Sony is using this increase in the rest of the world to mitigate costs: it is also done in areas such as Europe and the United Kingdom, where the tradition of PlayStation players is very high and these increases do not negatively impact as substantially as in other territories. PlayStation 5 Pro support. There is also another possible strategic reason for this rise that should not be ruled out: an attempt to redirect demand to premium products such as PlayStation 5 Prothat maintains its price. Approaching the prices of the cheapest option and the most expensive of its catalog, Sony makes this last option more attractive: the sales of PlayStation 5 Pro have not yet transcended, but above the problem of the rates, we could be facing a decision that would have ended up arriving in any case.

The tariff war will shoot the price of a component that nobody speaks: the SSD units

by

The tariff war that has triggered the entire planet The US government led by Donald Trump is wreaking havoc in the markets. Consumers are already noticing Price increase Of many products, and presumably in the short term we will perceive it in many more. There is no doubt that the world is entering In an unexplored terrain. If we stick to technology, much is being talked about the impact of tariffs on chips for applications of artificial intelligence (AI), CPU and other components, but storage solutions have gone unnoticed. Until now. And it is that US tariff policy will cause with high probability a very important increase in the price of mechanical hard discs and solid state storage units. Mechanical hard drives can be worse stopped than SSD units Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital are the main manufacturers of mechanical hard drives. The supply chains of these three companies are very complex because the components they use to assemble their units come from a very wide range of countries. And, to anyone’s surprise, many of these nations are among those subject to The highest US tariffs. In principle the most disadvantaged company at the current situation is Seagate. As we have told you, the US administration has increased tariffs for products from China up to 145%and Seagate produces a good part of his porpholio in the country led by Xi Jinping. In current circumstances the best option for these companies is Move your production to the USeither one of the countries that are receiving a slightly friendlier treatment from the Government of Donald Trump. The manufacturers of solid state units have an advantage that the mechanical hard drives companies do not count However, for mechanical hard drives manufacturers it is not easy to move from one country to another. And it is not because these devices are assembled in clean rooms similar to Those used to manufacture semiconductors with the purpose of ensuring that dust particles do not spoil them. The panorama faced by the producers of solid state storage units is not very different. Samsung, Micron or Kioxia supply chains, among other companies that manufacture NAND 3D memory chips or SSD units, are as complex as those of companies that produce mechanical hard drives. However, manufacturers of solid state units They have an advantage With which the mechanical hard drives companies do not count: the assembly of the SSD does not have to be carried out in a clean room. In practice it is relatively simple to transfer the production of SSD from China or Vietnam to Mexico, Canada or the US. Whatever the price of storage units, whether they are going to increase perceptibly over the next weeks. Only a return to the prior market to tariffs could avoid it, and right now this possibility is remote.
