i'm generally not to bad at eco cause i'm good at breaking things down and analysing etc however i can never remember stats, if you have a page or know of a few important ones, besides UnN, can you post them please. Thanks

-inflation rate of 2.2% i think
-im guessing unN is unemployment? otherwise, its 5.8%
-distribution of income: just under .5 (prolly 0.4 or summing)

 

[jumentous]

yea UnN is unemployment, shorthand teacher taught us

 

[cakes]

does anyone know what the growth rate is? and CAD figures?

 

[loser]

Are interest rates at 5% or 4.5%?

 

[numg]

cash rate is 5%
I have CPI of 2.6%
and growth of 1.9% year to september 2003
That last figure seems really really wrong though...

 

[MMchen]

eco growth only 1.9??..
i though budget reveal something like 3-3.5%???

i thinks.....

Ok...

Latest cad figure (august) which was a record deficit (but thats not really relevant due to the fact that our ecy is growing therefore to have a record figure is nothing more than expected) was 6.7% of GDP

Unemployment rate - 14 year low - 5.6%

Inflation rate - CPI 2.6%, official headline rate 2.7% (dont ask me why)

interest rate - 5% (first increase in 17 months from 4.75% reflecting the stronger global economy.) Mainly put up to reduce retail credit consumption and to take precautionary measures on the housing industry. Also 5% will not be regarded as the RBA's target, most likely increase to between 5.5 - 6% before they leave it for a while.

economic growth, well we cant say just yet, but that 1.9% growth is only for all the months up until september (still got another 4 months in the year to go so yeah)
