Indices and Indicators:
GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is a measure of the economic production
of a particular territory in financial capital terms over a specific time period.
GDP=C+I+G+(X−M)
GDP = private consumption + gross investment +
government investment + government spending + (exports – imports).
Inflation is a quantitative measure of the rate at
which the average price level of a basket of selected goods and services
in an economy increases over a period of time.
Rate of Inflation = (CPIx+1 – CPIx)/CPIx
CPIx = Initial Consumer Price Index
10. 10
Indices and Indicators:
Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an indicator that measures the average
change in prices paid by consumers for a representative basket of goods
and services over a set period.
CPI =
Cost of Market Basket in Base Year /Cost of Market Basket in Given Year
×100
Tariff - a tax or duty to be paid on a particular class of imports or exports.
Purchasing Power is the value of a currency expressed in terms of the
amount of goods or services that one unit of money can buy.
Basket of Goods is a collection of commonly purchased goods
that represent the average spending habits

Indices and Indicators:
Cost of Living is the amount of money needed to sustain
a certain standard of living by affording basic expenses
such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare.
Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) is a survey, administered
by the conference board, that measures how optimistic or
pessimistic consumers are regarding their expected financial situation.
Market Demand (Q) Formula:
Q = n*q*z
n- number of the customers
q – number of purchases per specific period of time
z – the average price of a particular product
More common formula: Q = f(P)
Q – the quantity of the product
P – the product’s price

The Circularity Gap Report 2019 finds that the global economy is only 9%
circular - just 9% of the 92.8 billion tonnes of minerals, fossil fuels, metals
and biomass that enter the economy are re-used annually.

Estimation
China's venture capital industry is also focused on the digital world. The majority of investments are in digital technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and financial technology companies. In particular, China enters the top three in the world for venture capital investments in virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, robotics and drones, according to the report.
The gap between Chinese industries and more advanced economies on digitization is rapidly closing, and China is in fact ranked higher in some sectors on the MGI Industry Digitization Index, such as retail trade, entertainment and recreation, utilities, health care, government and education.

World Risk Map methodology
Our Intelligence and Analysis Services team have ranked countries from least to most risky using 20 different risk markers grouped under five main categories:
Security risks (inc. petty & violent crime, civil conflicts, protests, strikes and terrorism)
Political risks (inc. government stability, levels of corruption, political interference and sanctions)
Medical risks (inc. presence of diseases, standard of medical facilities, access to water and availability of pharmaceuticals)
Environmental risks (inc. proximity to seismic activity, frequency of storms, presence of manmade ordnance such as landmines and climatic hazards)
Infrastructural risks (inc. road safety and standards, provision of utilities such as electricity, cyber crime and aviation security & standards)
1. Poor people in developing countries often spend 60-80% of their income on food.
Americans spend less than 10%.

2. 75% of the world’s food is generated from only 12 plants and 5 animal species.
Kale is probably not one of them.
3. 165 million people suffer from childhood malnutrition.
If they joined hands, they could form a complete circle around the earth.
4. Over 25 million tons of pumpkins, squash, and gourds are produced around the world each year.
That’s 55,115,570,000 pounds!
5. Americans waste about 141 trillion calories worth of food every day.
That adds up to about $165 billion per year — 4 times the amount of food Africa imports each year.
6. More than 9 out of 10 farms in the world are family farms.
They provide more than 80% of the world’s food supply.
7. Women make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing countries, and account for about two-thirds of the world’s 600 million livestock keepers.
The majority of these women are from sub-Saharan Africa.
In 2018, the World Economic Forum, World Resources Institute, Philips, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, United Nations Environment Programme, and over 40 other partners launched the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE).[22] PACE follows on the legacy of WEF's CEO-led initiative, Project MainStream, which sought to scale up circular economy innovations.[23] PACE's original intent has three focal areas: (1) developing models of blended finance for circular economy projects, especially in developing and emerging economies; (2) creating policy frameworks to address specific barriers to advancing the circular economy; and (3) promoting Public–private partnership for these purposes.[24][25]
PACE members include global corporations like IKEA, Coca-Cola, Alphabet Inc., and DSM (company), along with governmental partners and development institutions from Denmark, The Netherlands, Finland, Rwanda, UAE, China, and beyond.[26][27] Initiatives currently managed under PACE include the Capital Equipment Coalition with Philips and numerous other partners[28][29][30] and the Global Battery Alliance with over 30 partners.[31][32] In January 2019, PACE released a report entitled "A New Circular Vision for Electronics: Time for a Global Reboot" (in support of the United Nations E-waste Coalition
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The dollar's buying power is less than what it was 20 years ago, meaning what you earn doesn't stretch as far as it once did.
Government statistics show that while household income has been steadily increasing, it has failed to keep up with the pace of inflation.
In addition, the cost of buying items like houses and automobiles has increased at a rate that outpaces the rise in inflation.
The average cost of buying a new car in 1999 was $20,686; adjusted for inflation, that price today should be $31,874. However, according to Kelly Blue Book, the average cost of buying a new car in April 2019 was $37,185, 14% higher than the price when accounting for inflation.
The Bottom Line
Taken together, these figures indicate that, while the average person is still making the same amount of money when accounting for inflation, prices for many of the daily necessities have gone up considerably, which means that each dollar earned does, in fact, buy less than it did 20 years ago.
