Stagflation and recession are increasingly being used to
describe where the economy might be headed. The
World Bank warned on 14th June 2022, that global
economies were at risk of stagflation if not recession.
"The world economy is again in danger," David
Malpass, president of the World Bank, said in the latest
edition of the Global Economic Prospects report. "It is
facing high inflation and slow growth at the same time.
Even if a global recession is averted, the pain of
stagflation could persist for several years - unless major
supply increases are set in motion.
Explain the main differences between stagflation and
recession, if we had to face one, which one would be
less painful?
According to the East Asia and Pacific Economic Update published by the World Bank in April 2015, the following factors have affected China's real GDP in 2015. -
A) Global economic recovery supports a moderate increase in China's exports.
B) China benefits from a fall in the world price of oil
C) Chinese government to cut excess capacity in heavy industry through an advance in
D) U.S. firms to relocate their labor-intensive manufacturing industries to low-cost countries. Explain how each of the above factors changes China’s short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, aggregate demand, or some combination of them.

Countries with significant tourism industries, such as The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Dominica, and Grenada, were hard-hit by a more than 70 percent drop in overnight visitors in 2020, which spilled over to affect other economic sectors.

Agriculture in Belize was affected by a severe drought from the previous year and then a reduction in tourism-related demand. The economy contracted by 13.3 percent.

- In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis. Recall the components that make up GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C = consumption, I = investment, G = government purchases, X = exports, M = imports, and NX = net exports: Y = Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as: Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y = .

At various points in its history, it has been a Dutch colony, a French colony, and a British colony and it gained its independence in 1968.

The population is approximately 1.4MM people.
