2022 sterling crisis

It is far too early to create a 2022 sterling crisis. Although the phrase "sterling crisis" has appeared frequently in news media worldwide, I think we must wait for the books to come out and I suspect that most serious publishers will regard it as too early to call. It may get worse or it may get better, so I suspect that they will want to wait until there is some evidence of coming out the other side. But in the meantime, I suggest that it might be worthwhile to begin a collection of links to news reports that we may find more difficult to locate later?
