And what will be the consequences? Potential consequence 1. Increasingly impatient (and thrifty) consumersThis one is fairly self-explanatory.

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady for a sixth straight meeting Wednesday, with a summer start to cuts looking less likely owing to stubborn inflation. For months, the US central bank has maintained its benchmark lending rate at a 23-year high to cool demand and rein in price increases -- with a slowdown in inflation last year fueling optimism that the first cuts were on the horizon. But inflation has accelerated, and analysts widely believe the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will keep its target range at 5.25 percent to 5.50 ...

By Daniel ARONSSOHN Bruxelles (Belgique) (AFP) - L'Europe est sortie de la récession au premier trimestre, avec une croissance plus robuste que prévu, tandis que l'inflation sous contrôle devrait conforter la Banque centrale européenne (BCE) dans son projet de baisse des taux en juin.

Economic growth in the eurozone exceeded economists' expectations in the first quarter of the year, while the annual inflation rate for April demonstrated stable performance compared to the previous month. This halted the downward trend that began in January, but it also provided some encouraging signs for an anticipated European Central Bank (ECB) rate cut in June. According to flash estimates from Eurostat released on Tuesday, the annualised gross domestic product growth in the eurozone was 0.3% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the final quarter of 2023. This marks a significant impr...

Paris (AFP) - L'inflation en France a ralenti encore en avril, à +2,2% sur un an, selon les résultats provisoires communiqués mardi par l'Insee. La progression sur un an avait été de 2,3% en mars, alors qu'elle était de 5,9% en avril 2023 : la légère baisse cette fois s'explique par le ralentissement des prix de l’alimentation et du tabac, et le léger repli de ceux des produits manufacturés, tandis que les prix de l'énergie semblent avoir accéléré, précise l'Institut national de la Statistique. Les prix des services ont augmenté sur un an au même rythme qu'en mars, +3%, selon ces données provi...

As the cost of living crisis continues to sweep through most European countries, several workers have seen their savings and pensions erode, including retirement savings. This has also led to many being forced to increase their retirement ages, in order to make up the gap and be able to stay afloat in an increasingly uncertain economy. A new study by AgeCalculator.com, using Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data gathered from between 2000 and 2020, shows that retirement ages in several European countries have risen significantly during this period. Bulgaria takes th...
