Prediction done in November 2021 for 2022
2022 Prediction:
Like last year, the conflicts and issues with trade war will
continue this year. This year theme is transportation. The fast moving
transportation (e.g. courier and delivery business) will continue to flourish this
year. With the high vaccination rate
among most of the countries around the world, there is uplift in travel and
leisure. However, due to rigid requirement, the public may be put off with
travel.
Current Status:
As predicted, the trade war continue and the situation become worst with Russia invasion of Ukraine, which causes major shortage of food around the world. In addition, with the embargo being imposed on Russia, a lot of countries are suffering. There is a major crisis happening at Sri Lanka where the inflation is at 50%.
Transportation continue to thrive around the world. In US, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) shows an upward trend.
2022 Prediction:
Current Status:
At the time of writing, the Covid-19 situation is not going away as the virus continue to mutate and people are getting infected. With the vaccination and booster, people are recovering faster and less severe. Countries around the world are still doing periodic lockdown due to the spike in infection. China, which has the zero Covid policy, the policy implementation is taking a toll on the country as well as the citizen. It is also impacting the rest of the world as traveling to and from China is still restricted.
2022 Prediction:
Current Status:
With countries moving towards endemic mode and herd immunity, most of these countries are opening up to allow better flow of people and trade. However, Russia invasion on Ukraine has cause oil price to sky-rocket and causes major inflation world-wide. On top of that, with the lockdown due to Covid-19, most of the industries already wind down to the minimum. With the opening, industries will need time to restart again. Since winding down, a lot of staff have been retrenched and these staff no longer available. It will take time to hire people and train them again.
A quick check on the Qi Men Dun Jia chart for next few years, the economy recovery will only happen in 2nd half of 2025.
2022 Prediction:
Current Status:
The great resignation wave started around Dec 2021/Jan 2022 and as of July 2022, it shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, Fortune magazine reported that 40% of US workers are considering quitting their jobs. Fortune magazine reported that Leisure and Hospitality industry was the hardest hit, follow by Trade, Transportation and Utilities.

Current Status:
Singapore government announced that all night life businesses including KTV and night club can reopen from 19th Apr 2022. However, for some establishments, a negative ART result done within 24 hours is required and this test has to be supervised. Such requirement might put off some from going.
2022 Prediction:
Current Status:
2022 statistics are not available yet. In 2020, I predicted that 2021 divorce rate will go up. As released by Singapore Department of Statistics, in 2021, there is an increase of 13.4% in divorce.
