OECD International trade statistics: trends in third quarter 2018

November 28, 2018--Weak growth of G20 international merchandise trade in third quarter of 2018
G20 international merchandise trade, seasonally adjusted and expressed in current US dollars, grew marginally in the third quarter of 2018, on the back of rising oil prices, with G20 exports rising by 0.3% and imports by 0.7%, following the minor contractions in the second quarter of 2018.

Excluding large oil exporters, such as Russia and Saudi Arabia, G20 trade was flat suggesting that the steady expansion seen over the last two years may have stalled as recent protectionist measures begin to bite.

In the United States, exports contracted by 1.7%. Although exports grew in China (by 2.4%)-partly reflecting the exceptional sale of an oil platform to Brazil, which helped push up Brazilian imports by 18.0%-this only partially offset the significant contraction of Chinese exports (down 4.9%) in the previous quarter.

OECD-New report says better metrics could have prompted stronger response to the crisis

November 27, 2018--Better measurement of the economy and of people's well-being could have led governments to respond more strongly to mitigate the damage caused by the 2008 financial crisis and reduce people's continuing loss of trust in public institutions, according to a new report.

Beyond GDP: Measuring What Counts for Economic and Social Performance says that different metrics, including of people's economic insecurity, would have revealed that the consequences of the recession were deeper than GDP statistics suggested. As a result, the importance of bolstering safety nets and social protection was not sufficiently taken into account.

Why the 2018 bitcoin price crash is just a 'blip not a bubble bursting'

November 23, 2018--The price of bitcoin has often been compared to history's biggest bubbles-Dutch Tulip mania in the 17th century, the Mississippi Bubble in the 18th century and the UK Canal and Railway mania in the 19th century-but perhaps the most popular comparison is the dot-com bubble of 2000.

In the space of five years, it seemed any company with a '.com' after its name provoked a feeding frenzy from investors, which led to an artificial inflation in their value.
