How is the economy in your country ?

Slovenia.

Officially, we are doing well. In reality, the gap between top and low class is wider every day. And middle class is slowly sinking down and disappearing into low class.

Personally, I am doing well. It depends on your line of business and rewards it brings !LOLZ

Generally, in perspective and for future, pension fund is in debt already. If you don't take care of it now and invest in your retirement, if you can, you will be in trouble come retirement.

Regionally, we are vassals of EU. Being ruled by unelected officials, waiving EU flag, being sold fake democracy. What they couldn't conquer with weapons in two world wars, they managed now with economy and politics, with help of corrupted politicians.

I guess it's the same everywhere in the "free world".

Ours (Philippines) sucks, with all the corruptions and such. Cost of living continues to rise with the prices of consumer goods/basic necessities increasing almost every week. Somehow, peole are getting by, and can still splurge on things, especially this month of December.

I live in Brazil and, well, there's not much to say. Here, almost everything is bad: corrupt politicians, high taxes, poor public policies, not much to do.

In general, the economy is always bad because of greedy people and a corrupt electoral system... so there's not much positive left.

How is it for you?

For me, personally, life is good and I have a pretty easy time of it as I don't have many overheads. Currently, I fit into the first category of Mr Micawber's equation: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness." [Charles Dickens, David Copperfield]

How is it in your country?

I think a lot of people are feeling the pinch. With the low yen, imports are more expensive but wages have remained stagnant for years. There is a lot of hidden poverty, especially for single parent families, I believe.

How is the economy evolving in your country?

Well, the economy seems to be sluggish. "Real GDP growth is projected at +0.9% for FY2025 (November 2025 forecast: +1.0%)" https://www.dlri.co.jp/english/report_en/202512YS.html

Although the new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, channels Margaret Thatcher, her cabinet has just announced a huge (US$136 billion) stimulus package. While some of the measures will provide short term relief to those in need, it simply adds to the massive mountain of Japanese government debt while further weakening the yen (good for exports, but pushes up import prices).

On the other hand, Japanese stocks have done well this year, so some people are secretly smiling!

It's been fine for me personally, but things have been going up in price so I can't say that everything will be fine in the future. I think it's rough in the US as more and more people's wages can't keep up with the price increases. Adding in all the tension going on with Trump, I can't predict how the economy will change though.

I live in the united states, politics seems to be on everybody's mind lately here, it makes people uneasy, afraid to give their true opinions. I really don't think the economy is too bad because I really don't focus on it much.I live a very minimalistic life where I don't need much besides the basics to live.

Here the interest rate is high because of the excessive government spending to control the inflation. However the stock market is at ath, and the inflation seems to be under control now. So maybe soon we'll see the drop in interest rate and things will be better...

If the central bank does it's job, it will probably lower the interests if inflation is under control.

In the USA the economy is probably at an inflection point. It has been going up (market) for several years with hugh inflation. I see a bit of softness around the edges where more stores are closing and houses are empty and on the market. It feels like a blowoff top to me so I am expecting a correction/recession in 2026.

Here in England, I am not convinced about our economy at all, since many of our councils are bankrupt, towns are now full of rubbish shops or empty units, our roads are badly pot-holed. The government is intent on adding more taxes rather than stimulating industry or growth here. It is not a great economy at all!

In Indonesia

The official government will say economic is rising, investment are flowing in. Jobs booming everywhere. We are going to the golden era.

What I see right now:
Businesses are dieing, market is idle. There are no real jobs here, I mean people can find a job such as online food delivery, part time freelancer and many but no real formal employments from companies.

The rich getting richer, only certain industry such as crypto that is booming, but questionable if it is a real boom or just a few success stories that have gone viral.

Everything is expensive in Singapore. 🤑

I do hear lots of complaints about jobs and such, but I don't see that issue in my own circle. Fact is, I have lots of trouble recruiting the very in-demand and experienced/skilled workers that are needed.

Latest stats which I've read in the past week put our estimated economic growth at about 4% and inflation at about 1%. We're definitely faring a lot better than many places currently.

Life is good I guess? 🎉

Here in the Netherlands all seems fine so far , we have only 18 milion citizens good social system and health insurances .
the biggest problem here is finding a house at the moment , most young people live with their parents for a long time simply because they are unable to buy something or find something to rent.

In the UK, pension rises are governed by "Triple Lock". Which means that increases are the highest of 2.5%, inflation, or earnings growth. So this year my income has increased by 4.1%.

It will always be nice to have more. But I can live reasonably well. So I'm happy 😁.

I don't follow this closely, but the current government is brainwashing people into thinking that everything is great. Still, statistics from the EU and daily events show that not everything is fine in many areas, not just finance. Also in healthcare, justice, and security.
But the elections are approaching. Media workers will have a lot of work to do. 😂

The economy of my country, Cuba, is complicated and very hard for most people. We live with low salaries that are not enough to cover the real prices of basic goods. There is a strong dependence on imports, remittances, and tourism, while national production is insufficient. The State controls a large part of the economy, and the private sector exists but with many restrictions and taxes, which leads to shortages, inflation, and a constant loss of purchasing power in everyday life.

I live in Venezuela.
The economy in Venezuela has faced significant challenges in recent years.
Although there have been some signs of stabilization recently, such as a slight improvement in trade activity and informal dollarization that has facilitated some transactions, inflation remains a major problem.
Many people still struggle to access basic goods and essential services.
In addition, the economic differences between those who have access to foreign currency and those who do not have generated marked inequalities.
However, there is a spirit of resilience in the population that drives small enterprises and alternatives to get ahead.
