LMFAO you should really take a look at Uruguay's statistics on that. You'll surely feel much better afterwards

-
Why are you overreacting?
-
I'm not overreacting, I just think it's quite funny how that number is considered high and worthy of a "breaking news" tag
-
Economic data of major economies are always breaking news.
-
I can understand that, but I still find it somewhat odd that it's perceived as high. Sure, it's because of the context, but still
-
BBC sends me "US nonfarm payrolls at xxxx" every month and yeah, it is breaking news.
-
You're not getting over "breaking news" and therefore not paying attention to my main observation being how it is perceived as high at all

Higher import costs and 18% currency devaluation will do that to an economy.

Introduce very mild inflation in line with wages growth. Yes. Truly terrifying.
-
The devaluation is crucial.
-
In many ways helpful. And the inflation is pretty unremarkable- not exactly Brexageddon, is it.
-
Devaluation is good for a country that exports more than it imports like China. UK imports far more costly manufactured goods Not helpful.
