Answer:
The last dictatorship in Europe today is in Belarus and is ruled by dictator Alyaksandr Lukashenka. Alyaksandr Lukashenka has been ruling for the past 26 years and was elected in 1994 by 80% of the population. Before it was ruled by the communist leader Vyacheslav Kebic who had run against Alyaksandr Lukashenka. Unfortunatley, Alyaksandr Lukashenka had no means of freeing Belarus and had instead reinstated the old communist economic system with little to no change. He had also kept the repression of free speech, leaving Belarus in a constant state of economic downturn and mindless propaganda.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Companies passed on production and transportation costs to consumers</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
An increase in oil prices will add to a higher inflation level. This is on the grounds that transport costs will rise prompting more increased prices for many products. <em>This will be cost-push inflation which is very unique to inflation brought about by rising aggregate excess/demand growth. </em>
Consumers will see a decline in unrestricted income. They bear a higher cost of transportation, yet don't have the compensation of income rise. <em>Higher oil costs can prompt slower economic development – especially an issue if consumer spending is less.</em>
