  1. New #UN #report on how to measure #EconomicGrowth and hopefully getting rid of #GDP:

    Key messages:
    - GDP shows what we #produce. It doesn't show what we #value.
    - Better #decisions require better #measures. The #BeyondGDP dashboard provides them, and we can start using it now.
    - We now have a practical blueprint to measure regularly what truly drives well-being for people and planet.
    - Delay in adopting better measures of progress is #NoLongerAnOption. The cost is borne today and by future generations.

  11. Lithuania's #GDP will grow by 3.2% in 2026 and 2.1% in 2027, SEB Bank forecasts. The bank thus kept its economic growth #forecast unchanged from January 2026. The bank raised its projection for annual #inflation in #Lithuania to 5.7% in 2026 due to increased #energy #prices.

  13. From time to time alternatives to Global Domestic Product as a model for measuring human progress & wellbeing are proposed (although GDP remains at the centre of much assessment of state success & comparison between models of capitalism & development).

    The latest proposal from the United Nations is organised round a 31 part dashboard clusters around four themes:

    foundational principles;
    wellbeing;
    equity & inclusion;
    sustainability & resilience

  15. “Owner-occupier mortgage growth slowed under growing costs while investor loans grew by $42bn in the year to March, a 9.6% increase” (Source: The Guardian)

    No end in sight to the inflationary bubble that is the real estate invesment rort.

    Ireland’s GDP soared 12.3% in 2025 — but it was a mirage. Pharma multinationals front-loaded €25.4bn of exports to the US in March alone, ahead of Trump’s tariffs.

    Now the first quarter of 2026 sees a contraction.
