This economic shock will begin from countries like China and India, the price of food continues to climb higher. The price increase was due to various factors such as food production is lower than expected due to climate change and increased demand as the impact of the strengthening economy of developing countries.
2. The high interest rates and tight liquidity in developing countries.
A number of developing country governments to respond to rising food inflation due to the tightening of economic policy.
For example, China continues to increase foreign reserves and higher interest rates. India, South Korea, and Brazil also continued interest rate hikes. Although the conduct policy, no one can guarantee that the choice of these countries will succeed.
Prices of food and other commodities such as fuel oil is often not affected by monetary policy.
3. The political crisis in the Middle East.

5. Rising interest rates in developed countries.
Developed countries are now beginning to think to raise interest rates as a step in anticipation of increased oil and food prices. This step will certainly end the policy of the ease of liquidity that has been running since the financial crisis.
European Central Bank (the ECB) will likely raise interest rates at a meeting beginning next April. Bank of England will also make a similar move in response to a spike in inflation.
6. The end of quantitative easing policy in the U.S..
Quantitative easing vol 2 is a program of the U.S. government to buy the bonds and will expire in June. The impact of the end of this program is U.S. monetary policy to be more stringent.

Withholding tax is clearly visible in some countries in Europe, with countries such as Greece and Ireland have asked the International Monetary Fund (International Monetary Fund / IMF) and the European Union to consolidate its finances. However, European countries also witnessed the efforts of the Spanish government threatened the same problem.
On the other side of the country, parliament United States now is struggling to cut budgets that affect the reduction in fiscal stimulus.
All this incident shows is the lack of impact of government efforts to boost the economy and not a single country whose economy is completely recovered.
8. Among the various economic shocks that will hit the global economy, natural disasters in Japan is the biggest worry for the world economy.
In addition to the many deaths and damage suffered by Japan due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and the explosion of a nuclear reactor. Japan's biggest threat for the world economy is the issue of reduced production and supply of goods from Japan.
Japan is also likely going to need an additional supply more oil as an effort to meet the energy needs due to the ongoing improvement of nuclear power plant (NPP). These conditions add to the weight problem of rising world crude oil prices.
