Inflation is a significant factor affecting the global economy. It affects the prices of goods and services and has a massive impact on investments. Inflation-linked returns are becoming increasingly popular among investors who seek to protect their portfolios from inflationary pressures.

Infrastructure and property are two sectors that have seen a surge in demand for inflation-linked returns. These investments can provide a hedge against inflation, as they are typically linked to the consumer price index (CPI).

Infrastructure investments typically involve investing in assets such as roads, airports, and other public facilities. These assets have long-term contracts that provide a steady source of income. Moreover, as inflation rises, so does the revenue generated by these assets, leading to higher returns for investors.

Property investments also offer the potential for inflation-linked returns. Real estate has traditionally been seen as a hedge against inflation since property prices tend to rise with inflation. Moreover, rental income from properties also tends to rise with inflation, leading to higher returns for investors.

The outlook for inflation-linked returns in infrastructure and property looks positive. With the global economy recovering from the pandemic-induced slowdown, demand for infrastructure and property is likely to increase. This increase in demand, coupled with rising inflation, can lead to higher returns for investors.

Moreover, governments across the world are investing heavily in infrastructure projects to promote economic growth. These investments provide a stable source of revenue for infrastructure investors and help support the overall economy.

In conclusion, inflation-linked returns are an attractive option for investors looking to protect their portfolios from inflationary pressures. Infrastructure and property are two sectors that offer potential inflation-linked returns, and the outlook for these investments looks positive. As economies recover from the pandemic-induced slump, demand for infrastructure and property is likely to rise, leading to higher returns for investors.
