In 1984, #unemployment was 7%, #inflation was 3.8%, and #GDP growth was 6.9%.

You won't like hearing this, but video games must become more expensive.
When I was little, my dad got me a PlayStation 2 for christmas, but without any games. My mum was very generous and took me out to pick two games for it. They were 60€ each. Nowadays you would call those full-price games.
But now, 20 years later, a full-price game is still about 60€. If you correct that for inflation, it should really be 86€ now. And that's not even covering the fact that games have massively increased in visual fidelity, which is much more expensive to produce.
If you don't want games to be littered with microtransactions or ads, then you have to accept that a regular video game *must* be at least 90€.

Euro zone inflation tumbled far more than expected this month, a challenge to the European Central Bank's narrative that price growth remains stubborn and likely fuelling bets on early spring rate cuts in defiance of the bank's explicit guidance.
Consumer price growth in the 20 nations sharing the euro currency dropped to 2.4% in November from 2.9% in October to mark the lowest level since July 2021.

#Inflation in #EU area, USA & UK has diverged, because it is differently made up. Most notably, in the UK drivers of inflation are no longer really focussed in #energy, #food & #housing but have become much more widespread.
There's an old story that #corporations refer to the UK as 'treasure island' as its an economy where profits can easily be pushed up due to a lack of effective anti-trust & pro-competition policy (leading to sectoral oligopolies).

Well, at least the Competition & Markets Authority is seeing what the Bank of England in its selective myopia frequently ignores.
In the CMA's report into the retail market, they identify a clear raising of profitability by food & other producers, with price rises that are now feeding #inflation not merely reflecting it.

The continuing #costoflivingcrisis, high #interestrates, #inflation & other social crises across the UK are taking their toll on #business start-ups.
If (and for some of your this may be a big 'if') the willingness to start a new business is a key indicator of the private sector's judgement on the future economic environment, then the switch to more #businesses failing than being started in 2022, marks a further decline in the UK's economic prospects!
NY Magazine's Eric Levitz:
Imo, it's true that many voters aren't content with slowing #inflation; they want all prices to fall (which would require a depression).
This said, we have actually seen straight up deflation for many high-salience items. The 34% drop in the cost of health insurance seems especially under-discussed.

While Savills (an estate agent) may not be a neutral source, equally they likely have a pretty good idea what is happening in rented #housing.
Their predictions for a continuing above #inflation rise in rents next year, driven by a shortage of properties & #landlords financing (and other) costs, suggest in 2024 the #housingcrisis in the UK will get even worse.

The House of Lords Economic Affairs Comm. is critical of the #BankOfEngland in its new report, identifying complacency & lack of good forecasting on #inflation as key shortcomings.
One of the key reasons they cite (echoing evidence by Helen MacNamara to the #CovidEnquiry) is a monoculture with key directors often drawn from the Treasury, leading to a deafness to alternative modelling & thinking within the BoE.
Looks like finally criticisms of governance by 'boys club' are gaining traction (?)
"But because raising taxes is a taboo subject in NZ they just left the Reserve Bank to whack up interest rates."
Now, the NatACTs are going to cut taxes, and probably borrow to do it. Which will drive inflation back up again (it peaked a while back), and keep interest rates higher for longer 🤦♂️

In a speech on Wednesday night, Michele Bullock, RBA governor, said the remaining inflation challenge is "increasingly homegrown and demand-driven". Hairdressers and dentists, dining out, sporting and other recreational activities – the prices of all these services are rising strongly," she said.
The RBA's 2023 annual report shows [former RBA governor Lowe’s] salary for 2022-23 hit $1,147,465 – a 10.5 per cent bump from the $1,037,709 he earned in 2021-22. Mr Lowe's mammoth salary included a $974,602 base with a $123,054 super contribution and a further $9210 in other benefits and $40,599 for long service leave.

It might be comforting to know i am doing nothing myself to cause inflation, if only all this horse-plop had any credibility. The insulting thing is that “they know that we know they know they’re talking horse-plop”.
So I see despite leaks (a couple of days ago) suggesting that the Treasury was thinking of using October's #inflation rate for the benefits' annual rise (which was 4.6% against the previous month's 6/7%), #JeremyHunt has actually gone for the usual month... might that have anything to do with the optics of retaining the #pensioners rise, do you think?

@TwraSun Das Defizit wird nominal angegeben, das verzerrt aber das Bild. Real werden die #Schulden 2023 abgebaut, wenn das Defizit 2,2% und die #Inflation 4% beträgt.

Now that #inflation in easing (a little) evidence is appearing on whether #greedflation was a thing.
