North Korean state media declared on Friday that its economy is “miraculously” overcoming international sanctions, claiming that the world “marvels” now “at [its] unlimited national power and development potential.” In a typically bizarre and grandiose editorial titled “Let’s Go Our Own Way and Build a Powerful Socialist State,” the state propaganda outlet Rodung Sinmun calls on “brave” North Koreans to continue fighting for a state built upon “self-reliance,” despite the devastating impact of economic sanctions on their economy.“The Korean people are dynamically moving forward rallied close around the great Workers’ Party of Korea, holding aloft the banner of self-reliance,” it declares. “Self-reliance represents the tradition of victory won by the independent and dignified DPRK, the inexhaustible creative power of socialist Korea and indomitable mettle of the … [Read more...] about North Korea Declares Its Economy Is ‘Miraculously’ Overcoming Sanctions

The Economy Didn’t Save Republicans After All
Sections SEARCH Skip to content Skip to site index Economy Subscribe Log In Log In Today’s Paper Supported by Neither strong growth nor a $1.5 trillion tax cut helped President Trump’s party in the midterm elections — by any number of measures. ByBen Casselman and Jim Tankersley Nov. 9, 2018 Unemployment is abnormally low. Growth has sped up. A $1.5 trillion tax cut, signed by President Trump last year, is fueling consumer spending.

Brexit and an aging population said to shade German economy
The experts, who advise the government on economic policy, said they expected Germany's economy to grow by 1.6 percent this year and 1.5 in 2019. That was well below their previous forecast of 2.3 percent and 1.8 percent respectively. "The uncertain future of the global economic order and unavoidable demographic change represent major challenges to the German economy," said chairman Christoph Schmidt in the council's latest annual report. The so-called "wise men", actually four men and one woman, urged Chancellor Angela Merkel's government to take action to prepare Germany for the threats ahead. The warning comes as Germany braces for a period of political turbulence at home following Merkel's announcement that she will step down as head of her centre-right CDU in December and will not seek re-election as chancellor when her fourth term ends in 2021.Brexit and baby-boomers The German economy enjoyed stellar growth in 2017 underpinned by brisk domestic and international demand, … [Read more...] about Brexit and an aging population said to shade German economy
