本週為超級央行週，升息之聲不絕於耳。繼美國聯準會(FED)後，週四(22日)英國、瑞士、挪威央行等齊步升息，本週主要央行的累計升息度幅達350個基點(3.5%)。
華爾街日報、路透社等報導，22日挪威到南非等國央行均召開政策會議，多國升息幅度超乎預期，ING分析師稱之為「超級星期四」(Super Thursday)。
英國央行(BOE)連續第七度加息，利率調升至2.25%，升幅小於一些分析師預期的3%，並將出售部分債券。英央說，儘管經濟邁向衰退，仍會繼續強力回應通脹。英鎊兌美元早盤一度觸及37年低點，隨後回升至1.13。
瑞士央行(SNB)加息至0.5%，終結2014年以來的負利率，並為歐洲最後一個脫離負利率的國家。瑞士央行示意，升息循環可能接近尾聲。當日匯市尾盤，瑞郎大跌1.03%、報0.9766兌1美元。與此同時，挪威央行升息兩碼至2.25%。
亞洲和非洲方面，台灣、印尼、菲律賓、越南、南非央行悉數加息。
各國加息阻止貶值，以壓抑通脹，但是幣值升勢比不上美元。
全球主要央行加息，本週升息幅度達350個基點，藉此證明決策者對抗通脹不手軟。本次緊縮政策循環中，全球十大已開發國家央行升息了1,965個基點，日本是唯一維持鴿派的央行，22日會議堅守超低利率政策。
世界銀行(World Bank)警告，今年國際央行加息的同步程度，為五十年來未見，貨幣政策持續轉緊，明年全球經濟可能陷入衰退。
