MILAN — Italy has fallen back into recession, intensifying concerns about the 19-country eurozone economy and a possible flare-up in the debt market jitters that have haunted the bloc in the past. The Italian economy, the third-largest in the eurozone, contracted by a quarterly rate of 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018, the national statistics agency said. Following a 0.1 percent drop in the previous three-month period that means Italy is in a technical recession, defined as two straight quarters of economic contraction — just four years after its last one. Italy’s recession is one reason why the wider eurozone slowed in 2018, along with uncertainties related to Brexit, the China-U.S. trade spat and new vehicle emissions standards. Though the eurozone is performing better than in the dark days of the debt crisis, which threatened to break up the euro currency, it’s still lagging the U.S. economy, which is projected to have grown about 3 percent in 2018. As a result, unemployment in the eurozone is about double the U.S.’s 4 percent at 7.9 percent. The eurozone economy as a whole grew by a meager 0.2 percent in the final quarter, the same as in the previous quarter, according to provisional figures released Thursday by the Eurostat statistics agency. It expanded by 1.8 percent in 2018 overall, its weakest rate in four years. That’s lower than had been anticipated a year ago, when the bloc was expected to slow only slightly from 2017’s strong 2.4 percent rate. The Italian economy has become an acute source of concern over the past few months, partly as a result of the new populist government’s spat with the European Union’s executive Commission over its budget plans, which has undermined business confidence and seen Italian borrowing rates in bond markets spike higher. The government, elected against the backdrop of economic disappointment after years — even decades — of stagnant growth, wants to ramp up spending to get the economy going. It wants to provide more social security payments and to roll back a pension reform. The plan means Italy would not reduce its debt load, which at over 130 percent is the highest in Europe after Greece. The EU Commission, still haunted by the memory of the debt crisis that required bailouts for a number of countries, has insisted that the Italian government rein back on its spending plans. Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte sought to downplay the recession and placed the blame firmly on the trade spat between the United States and China, which he says has weighed on Italian exports. “This is a transitory factor,” he told reporters in Rome. The head of Italy’s UNC consumer advocate organization, Massimiliano Dona, said the weak figures raise questions over the Italian government’s prediction that the economy will grow by 1 percent in 2019. He said that could mean the government will have to adjust its spending plans. Italy hasn’t been the only reason why the eurozone slowed in 2019. Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, suffered an unexpected contraction in the third quarter largely due to changes in emissions standards that hurt auto sales. And uncertainty over Britain’s exit from the EU has weighed on sentiment, as has the fear of a global trade war stoked largely by growing tensions between the United States and China. Separate economic indicators point to further weakness at the start of 2019 and most economists expect a difficult period ahead if the main causes of uncertainty are not addressed soon. “The continued decline in sentiment indicates that the underlying pace of growth has slowed even further,” said Christoph Weil, an economist at Commerzbank. “Uncertainty about economic developments in China, the unresolved trade conflict between the U.S. and China and Brexit continue to weigh on the economic outlook for 2019.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/italy-slides-into-recession-darkening-outlook-for-europe/2019/01/31/eae4aade-2555-11e9-b5b4-1d18dfb7b084_story.html?noredirect=on |

The Grand Imam of Shafaudeen in Islam Worldwide, in Oyo State, Prof. Sabit Olagoke, has predicted that President Muhammadu Buhari will emerge winner of the 2019 presidential despite the stiff competition from the main opposition. The cleric stated this in Ibadan, headquarters of Shafaudeen in Islam Worldwide Wakajaye, while releasing his 2019 prediction to the country after his confinement and fasting as well as prayer for the country. The Professor, who doubles as the President of Ajagun Esin Consultative Forum, AECF, said “Against all odds, winners would emerge. APC as a party would have some threat and surprises but election would tend to favour the incumbent president.” On the major opposition, he said “the PDP on the other hand, would create a scene of disappointment for its presidential candidate.” Olagoke declared that the 2019 election would come up after some structural adjustment for effective feasibility. He maintained that all stakeholders in the elections must ensure that the elections were free, fair and credible in order to avoid a stalemate. He warned that the wrath of God would descend on anybody or group of people plotting to cause violence and plunge the country into any upheaval. On security, Olagoke urged Nigerians to “pray against a situation of mass drift of people from a part of the country to the other. Let us work for peace and tighten up security” Generally, 2019 shall be characterised by the following events: “problematic challenges and reconstruction for repositioning, favourable year of economic revival and new face of education management, boost in security and favourable year for sports.” Stressing that good governance is a function of godly leadership, he called on the political class to imbibe the culture of tolerance, focus on the issue of welfare. https://lifestyle.ng/new-year-prophecy-islamic-cleric-olagoke-predicts-winner-of-2019-presidency/

ebenholer:Bros, the standard of living is very wide and deep. It is simple to define but very difficult not impossible to attain. However, within 4years, it is too much to ask from this government to change it dramatically. A single or singular effort by a government does not improve the standard of living of the people but a collection of collaborative efforts of both the private individuals and the government will impart on the lives of the citizens. How can standard of living be improved? 1. Providing and consistently maintaining the socio-economic infrastructural projects in the short run and long run periods. Some of them are motorable roads, relatively constant power supply, good railway system, etc 2. Making agricultural sector of the economy look attractive through some policies. To do this, it takes a lot of efforts and time to change the human attitude towards farming. Money spent on imported foods in this country is massively much. Subsistence and Commercial farming should be greatly encouraged. With this, there will be enough to eat as families and to sell locally and externally. Food which is one of the important indices of standard of living will be in abandance. Just imagine this that if 30% to 40 % of the Nigerian population engage in agriculture, wow! then there won't be problem of food in this country. This will shoot up, all things being equal, the GDP, lower imports, lower excessive spending of foreign reserves, increase government and individual savings, increase the employment index, increase exports, appreciate the value of naira currency as a result of favorable market forces of demand and supply of foreign exchange and just to mention a few of the benefits 3. Cutting down excessive government expenses and leakages. These include some allowances paid to senators, ministers, governors and even the presidents. Unnecessary offices and ministries should either be shut down or merged. Most importantly, the leakage or better still the corruption or specifically financial misappropriation in government MUST BE BLOCKED and the recovery of looted funds or properties from the looters should be fairly carried out. Surely, there will be saboteurs among people and government officials, but their numbers should be insignificant if meaningful efforts of the government are to be successful. 4. If I continue to write, I won't be able to go out for work. Managing plus ➕ or minus ➖ 200 millions of people or diverse tribes cum pressure from the senate and killings by Boko Haram and others like fulani herds men and IPOB is not unimaginably easy. I am not really against or entirely in support of the policies and actions of this government, but within 3.5 years of governance, it is not possible to attain a high level of standard of living. I may have missed out some things perhaps because of time. |
IamJames:If you are employed by a bank or any private organisation, does it mean that Buhari gives you the job? NO if you could get the job through your competence and experience in the midst of adverse economy and YES if the government could bring out some micro and macro economic policies that will encourage the banks and other private sector to absorb the job seeking graduates If you could create a job in a sector of economy on your own, let's say Rice production, it is perhaps because of some conscious governmental efforts directed to change the human behavior and mentality towards agrictural sector. Some of the efforts embarked by this government are Embargo on foreign rice importation. This has driven many individuals and some states into local production of rice Massive creation of awareness of the need or benefits of localized production Availability of funds or loans to youth channeled to motivate them into agricultural sector of the economy. Here, the government has not, may be, done enough awareness about it. But still I have heard some people enjoying this loan privilege. |

Reducing the rate of unemployment to a single digit in Nigeria within 6 years is totally impossible considering a lot of economic and political factors. Another failed-before-start promise from our politicians. Countries with the highest unemployment rates: 1. Zimbabwe 95.0% 2. Burkina Faso 77.0% 3. Syria 50.0% 4. Senegal 48.0% 5. Haiti 40.6% 6. Kenya 40.0% 7. Congo, Republic of the 36.0% 8. Afghanistan 35.0% 9. Kosovo 34.8% 10. Libya 30.0% 11. Lesotho 28.1% 12. Namibia 28.1% 13. Gabon 28.0% 14. Swaziland 28.0% 15. South Africa 27.6% 16. Yemen 27.0% 17. Venezuela 26.4% 18. North Korea 25.6% 19. Macedonia 23.4% 20. Mozambique 22.4% 21. Greece 22.3% 22. Bosnia and Herzegovina 20.5% 23. Malawi 20.4% 24. Botswana 20.0% 25. Sudan 19.6% 26. Armenia 18.9% 27. Ethiopia 17.5% 28. Montenegro 17.1% 29. Spain 17.1% 30. Jordan 16.5% http://factsmaps.com/countries-with-the-highest-and-lowest-unemployment-rates/ |
