The GDP annual growth rate is 1.2%. This seems to suggest that Germany's economy is doing good and slowly increasing. Inflation seems to slightly increase to 2.1%. Unemployment has decreased to 3.9% resulting in jobs for everyone. Wage growth has an increase of 1.1% resulting in a slow increase in Germany. Overall, with jobs skyrocketing, constant GDP, and a stable economy, Germany is in a good position.

The annual GDP growth rate is currently .8% and slowly starting to decrease. Inflationary pressures are slowly starting to fall, as the growth rate of .8% decreases. Unemployment rate is at a high 10% as of now, but trends have shown decrease over time. The wage growth has not changed staying at .2%, because of the unemployment rates. As data shows, I can indicate that France is just starting the process of recovery and will slowly make its way back. ]]> 2017-05-09 13:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/deropc/phase22/wish/170748000 walkerlucas https://padlet.com/deropc/phase22/wish/170748148 China is currently in a early Recovery on the business cycle. The GDP annual growth is low at 6.9% but seems to be leveling out and slowly increasing. Inflation is really low for the target rate at 0.9% but is not a problem, its shows that the economy is growing. Unemployment is exactly where China wants it at 3.97% with the Wage growth increasing, giving a rapid increase of consumer confidence. Personal savings rate is really low at 0.35% way below the 10% target rate, but its at a constant trend- meaning no one is freaking out about it. With this information, I can make the inference that China is leveling out, and slowly entering a period of early recovery. ]]> 2017-05-09 13:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/deropc/phase22/wish/170748148 lynchcoburn https://padlet.com/deropc/phase22/wish/170749805 Frances annual GDP is 0.8%, but is on a downward curve. unemployment is at a high 10% and is still going up. Inflation isn't terrible at 1.2%, and is steady at an upward trend, which is good with a target of 2%.
