When Was the Last Time you Came Across a Positive Economic News?

[Faisal2202]

it's all about inflation, recession, debt, bankruptcy, companies downsizing, laying off hundreds of workers, shareholders firing CEOs, and the company's stock taking a nosedive. Can't we just catch a break and have some good economic news for once?

I am a Gen Z and I don't remember if I came to experience any positive economic news either country-wise or internationally. But I do get to see small good economic news like the improving GDP and inflationary rates of Pakistan (where I live), but with good news, the level of bad news is way bigger maybe that's why we come to enjoy this small good news a lot because staying in the dark for longer period of time will fall you in love with a small light coming from a 1 mm hole.

To be honest, not every person gives a shit to the economy or economic news, talking about myself before coming into the crypt sphere I was also not interested in knowing what is the economical status of my country, and what actual economy, GDP, Inflation, Unemployment, etc. etc. are. Matureness is also a factor aided me to know about these terms but the line of crypto made me to read and research about it regularly and daily

Like they used to say bad news sell very fast and I'll add that it is very profitable and very exciting. Good news on the other hand is boring and less exciting. It doesn't add profit, This is why we see that CNN, BBC, Aljazeera and others will discuss housing scarcity for weeks inviting analyst from university professors all over world. The last time I heard some good economic news was like forever, we are used it and are no longer bothered.

I find myself pretty bothered by everything going on in the world. Have you ever noticed how it's so hard to come across positive news about the economy, whether it's in our own country or globally? It's genuinely disheartening. Every time we read, watch, or discuss something related to the economy, it's all about inflation, recession, debt, bankruptcy, companies downsizing, laying off hundreds of workers, shareholders firing CEOs, and the company's stock taking a nosedive. Can't we just catch a break and have some good economic news for once?

I guess it depends what country you live in, but in places like the USA and Europe we are at almost record lows when it comes to unemployment. That is a fantastic situation to be in, as the more people are are employed, the brighter future people have as they can support themselves. In that economic picture there is likely to be less crime like theft or burglary, as people have the ability to earn an honest wage. Inflation is also coming back down in these countries, which was a bit unsettling. These effects are often mirrored by other countries, as it gets better in the richest countries then the poorest countries tend to have an easier time too. Currencies are stabilizing again in most places, as they might have been a bit more volatile over the last few years.

In my opinion, news like the one above is something that we cannot avoid as humans who live our lives in various ways, in fact we continue to be presented with war news from countries that are full of interests. all we can do now is work responsibly to improve ourselves and also protect our families from economic difficulties or bad news out there. Even if we don't see bad news like layoffs or other economic difficulties disappear, we should use it as a lesson to be better at living our lives.

[Negotiation]

It is really difficult to get positive news for the economy one problem after another. As long as inflation prevails in the economy there will be bad news like this I don't think we'll get GSP back very easily their relations with developing countries and the rate of aid and assistance to them will increase. Overall there will be a positive impact on our business trade investment and bilateral relations. Many people say that if we have relations with China we can take over their market. It would be better to improve ourselves to get rid of this economic impact if their financial ability is good it will be easy to get rid of the economic impact.

[DeathAngel]

I suppose the FED pausing raising rates is positive. We will know a lot more about the health of the economy this time next year but at the moment a soft landing does look possible. The next 12 months are so vital though, if the FED begins to cut rates by mid 2024 then things will look good. Overall it’s been a tough few years though & it might be another couple of years before everything is under control again.

It can be negative news for most people but there are people who will take it as a positive one. When food prices increase, those who buy food from the local market get worried because they have to pay a higher price than before but those who grow it and the middle man who sells it to consumers are happy because they are making more profit. When people started screaming about a correction in bitcoin I was surprised because the market gave us a chance to accumulate more bitcoin at a cheap price. We should be happy about it, but instead we start screaming and say the time for bitcoin is up.

In a time of recession people started selling their assets for cheap due to their emergency need and I think this is a perfect time to get rich. Buy those assets at a discount price and hold them for few years till the economy gets better.

All is not "Doom and Gloom" my friend, you just need to look for the small things that gets reported to see the light shining through the darkness. In my country we have a energy crisis, but they recently reported that more and more businesses and families are investing in Solar, so that are helping the environment ...because that is "green" and renewable energy.  

We should never forget that we are in a recovery cycle of the world economy, after Covid and the wars in the Ukraine and Israel are dampening the global economy at the moment.  

This is what they say that we shouldn't underestimate little things. And this is what big things have started right? So who knows? Maybe that small positive news that we see is slowly forming into a bigger one?

What happened to your country is one example of a positive news, and I think this wasn't small either. Not only that they can help the environment, but they also help their selves to cut their electrical fees. Covid and the Ukraine war are kind of an old issue and we have already recovered although it may not be in full yet, but we are heading there. Again, this is something that we should be thankful for. And this is an example of a positive news as well.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Lolz, there are actually some good economic news from time to time in every country of the world, but the thing is that, such news don't spread as fast as the bad ones, you all will agree with me that, bad news spread so quickly, they spread like wide fire, so it is very understandable why it seems that there are no good economic news any where.

Good economic news comes on, but are quickly buried in the background wit the bad ones.

I personally would say that, some governments in some countries are doing their best really, they make few good economic decisions, but unfortunately for them, the too many bad economic decisions they have made in times past, and even in present times makes the good decision have no positive impact on our economy.

This is what I personally believe is happening, in my country and maybe the world at large.

I mean bad news is the real deal...the media love it, journalists, analysts, researchers, professors all love it because that it the time they shine on national tv. That is the time, they tell the world about an economic theory from the 1800s that predicted the bad economy and how much doom is to follow.

Yeah, there is always good economic even more than the bad ones, but it is the bad ones that gives us an adrenaline rush.

No country is perfect and a healthy nation is one where there is a balance between the good and the bad.

I try to be selective about the news I watch because watching the general news is always depressing because of the many negative stories and developments. If I want to find out about a certain information, I search for it and find out the latest about it.

 I think we should generally be careful about the kind of information and news we listen and give attention to, because some of them can uncouple the motivation you have economically that took you time to build.

[Agbamoni]

People are now reluctant to listen to the news or sit to get information's about their country in the TV. I can attest to that. This is because i can't remember the last time i listened to the TV. There is nothing interesting to me or something beneficial i can gain currently watching the TV. In my country information's spread faster than any News station. At that moment something happens you may receive a phone call for warning or advice.

However, people who still dedicate time to watch TV for happenings in their country don't expect to hear any good news. The current inflation has affected almost all countries. Now people are more concerned about in finding a personal solution in surviving the economic situation and so they do not have any time to waste in listening to government promises towards the economy of the country.

[electronicash]

nothing good is happening but always war and politics. it only boils my blood watching the news. new regulations are being introduced in my country and it can make people hungry like open season on the sea. no positive news for the economy to grow.

idk, ffor over a century of harvesting the ocean in our country which faces the Pacific and is Archipelago with more than 7000 islands, we never had this law before but fisherman now has to live with it. we only have 2 seasons, rainy and sunny. we don't have winter here.

They try to be as current as possible with the ongoing situation and they know people will be very much interested in the news and the analyst will do their best to give people exactly what they want to hear at some point I was getting tired of watching the news not because of anything but the fact that they analysis and come up with a solution that is not used. and they see how developers build houses that people can not afford. and they keep building them.

I think it is unlikely that there will be a break in the inflation problem first, because every day there is a problem with this matter, and almost every country is facing this kind of problem.

All the things you mentioned are faced by every country, from unemployment, recession, and especially debt, because no country in the whole world has no debt; instead, everyone has debt, and whoever is recognized as the strongest country is even the one with the biggest debt.

right? its about creating controversy to steal the attention, i've saw some good news but i'd just forget it the next minute, while some grim bad news is always thats on my mind, its as if the media is trying to give news thats more relevant and it happens that all of them are bad news that could make us put more attention towards the media.
regardless though the bad news exists so that we can anticipate something bad from truly occurring, if its just all of good news and the media filtering bad news then we'll become ignorant.
I think we all should get used with all these bad news that gonna prominently pops up more frequently that those good news because we are supposed to face bad news and find solution, extensive attention is required.

If you find news that conveys the opposite but in reality it is not like that, of course it is a lie, so let them report what they want to report and we can choose not to watch it to remain optimistic, and so far I have never heard or watched the news that said otherwise, because that's what's happening all over the world right now, many countries are experiencing high inflation and if you're disturbed by the news then watch other broadcasts that can put something positive in your mind because actually in the world's increasingly difficult conditions there are still people who succeed in making their economies better.

I also thought as much. The more the world is growing the more people encounter problem. I have no doubt about that because the more technology advancement the more danger ahead. Everything that has advantage also has disadvantages. Just like we often hear about plane crash, Cyber criminal hacked account or defruading people online, nuclear war nuclear weapons and other related technology crimes. We often hear about different bad news on daily basis in my country you will hear complain of missing penis, cyber criminal killing innocent girls for ritual, kidnapping and demanding for randsom, brutal killing of innocent people by fulani heads men, political tussle and bad governance. On daily basis we have been hearing this and it is not encouraging but what can a common man do when the corrupt government officials are no willing to make any positive changes.

After reading this topic for a moment, I thought about remembering every news I read and saw in the last week or this month. And it seems that I have come to the conclusion that in that period of time I have not or have not read enough positive news regarding economic problems in my country, of course. In fact, what I read is that the number of factories closing in my area is increasing. It's pretty scary now that I look back on it. But luckily I'm not someone who focuses only on news or anything like that. I prefer to focus on my own life and on my own profession. Luckily I have more positive things in my life and work. Even though the current economic conditions may not be very good. But at least my family and I are in pretty good condition.

and actually I personally have also reduced reading news and watching news on television or on the internet. Especially if it is related to economics, the content of the news is continuously repeated but news related to the solution is very rarely found. So I prefer to ignore it and focus on my field of work. As a trader, I focus my search for information only on things related to my work. So I can be more focused on my work and still be able to produce normally. Because in my opinion, if we focus too much on the news that never stops, we will lose focus on ourselves and this will cause us to experience a decrease in productivity and creativity in our lives. So in a difficult economic situation. focusing more on self-improvement is actually much more beneficial.

[slapper]

People like you are also feeling overwhelmed by bad economic news. In addition to this common feeling, here's something else to think about: people naturally want to hear bad news. Negativity bias is a well-studied psychological effect that supports this idea. For maximum involvement, the media caters to this desire. Consequently, good news events frequently get less attention. However, this does not mean that there is no good news. Somewhat, but it's not as strong or shocking. Examples include improvements in technology that make things more efficient and save money or small businesses that do very well in specific markets. Although these stories are out there, you have to look for them more carefully. Concerning where we focus our attention. By consciously looking for these positive stories, we can try to keep our outlook balanced and maybe feel a little more hopeful about the economy
