Published

on

The Asian Development Bank or ADB has downgraded its predictions for growth forecasts among the regions developing economies

The ADB has cited deteriorating conditions due to China’s “zero Covid” lockdowns, a rise in interest rates in developing countries and the war in Ukraine.

Two big economies in Asia, China and India are expected to grow %4.6 percent in 2022 and 5.2% in 2023 according to the latest data. 

In April the ADB had a higher growth prediction at 5.2 and 5.3 percent respectively.

South Korea’s economic forecast was also been slashed

For China’s economy, the report cited “disruptions from China’s new covid lockdowns” and “weaker global demand”.

But moving against the negative trend, are the pacific island nations.

Their forecasts revised positively from 3.9 percent to 4.7 percent.

The ADB cited a stronger than anticipated rebound from tourism.

The gloomy predictions from the ADB have come as a warning for the global economy.

Businesses cash in on Black Friday sales

Published

on

Black Friday, the annual shopping frenzy, has become a global phenomenon rooted in economic strategies.

 
Retailers deploy various tactics to lure consumers, creating a win-win scenario for both shoppers and businesses.

The concept of Black Friday traces its roots to the United States, where it marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Retailers offer significant discounts on a wide range of products to attract a massive customer influx. This strategy, known as loss leader pricing, involves selling a few products at a loss to entice customers into stores, hoping they will buy other items at regular prices.

Retailers also employ the scarcity principle by advertising limited-time offers and doorbuster deals. This sense of urgency compels consumers to make quick decisions, boosting sales.

Furthermore, online shopping has revolutionized Black Friday economics. E-commerce giants use data analytics to customize deals, targeting individual preferences. Cyber Monday, the digital counterpart to Black Friday, capitalizes on the convenience of online shopping. #featured

Australian inflation figure finally starts with a 4

Published

on

Australia’s October inflation figures have surprised economists, as consumer prices rose at a slower pace than anticipated.

 
This slowdown was primarily attributed to a significant drop in goods prices, contributing to the nation’s subdued economic climate.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October indicated a modest 0.4% increase, falling short of the 0.7% forecasted by analysts. On an annual basis, inflation stood at 2.1%, below the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target range of 2-3%. This unexpected deceleration is likely to affect the country’s monetary policy decisions in the near future.

Goods prices, including essential items like fuel and food, recorded a notable decrease of 0.8%, mainly due to supply chain disruptions and global economic uncertainties. Meanwhile, services prices continued to rise, albeit at a slower rate, driven by higher wages in some sectors.

This unexpected dip in inflation raises questions about the overall health of the Australian economy and the central bank’s strategies to combat it. Policymakers now face the challenge of balancing economic growth with the need to manage inflation effectively. #ticker today #featured
