The 18 pillars

Tracking · our reading 12 of the 18 pillars are improving, 4 hold steady and 2 are getting worse. Of those that have not reached their promise yet, Disinflation · Real wages are already heading that way. Employment · Private-credit delinquency are moving away from it, and the ones we follow closely.

Status

How we read the status: on track, the latest figure meets the promise; in progress, it does not meet the promise yet and is moving towards it; at risk, it does not meet the promise yet and is moving away from it. It is measured against the promise published on each profile, not against whether we think the policy is right.
