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

[Mauser]

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?

It's true, the number of negative news are getting much more this year and it's hard to find positive news. What surprises me is that most of the international stock indexes are doing pretty well compared to the economic outlook. So, it's either the majority of investors that are way too optimistic for the current situation or the news are focusing on negative news much stronger. There are some positive news I keep hearing over the last few months. The first one is that inflation is falling and should come down to more normal levels next year, which means that further interest rate increases seem unlikely and there will be less pressure on the high debt countries. Another good news is that the job market is relatively strong after all these crisis we had in the last 5 years. As long as the unemployment rate remains low the economic outlook shouldn't be too bad and serious recessions should be avoided.

There is positive news just that you aren't current enough to have come across them and you have already sticked your heart to irregularities that is happening around the world especially the inflation ravaging all over the countries coupled with death news surrending people. So it's very hard for you to get those positive news coming around you, most of the try to listen 7:00 am news you would have some good news over there, although naturally there is a financial crisis across the globe which everyone knows about and the best is to remain positive.

Don't watch on live television but watch on replays that they have mostly on their websites or YouTube channels. Skip the ugly news about economies or even the crime news.
Then, when you're able to skip them just listen to the good news that shares good vibes as well. Protect your peace and mental health by listening to the positive news.
I know it is important to listen to the bad news as well but, give yourself a rest too by not listening to them and simply skipping on those.

There are positive news happening, but we are so used to them as being the norms and we don't put much attention on them as the ones we heard with negative vibes, full of tragedy, fraud, disasters and other captivating highlights on bad incidence, so this is why we found out that the news itself is what some don't really listen to like that too much because it's also very keen to airing the bad or negative occurences about life and the economy than the good things happening, we are also not too concerned about hearing this kind of goodnews because we think they are not new nor it first kind, but when a tragic one occurs, everyone got moved and stired and it becomes the talk of the town.

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.

Even though it is still unlikely for every country to be able to overcome problems such as inflation, which always occurs almost every year, the authorities and top officials of every country also never stop trying to overcome this for good. Indeed, this is not easy to overcome, but when there are many parties who are willing to be involved in resolving this in the right way, I think every country will not face excessive difficulties because of inflation, although there is still little chance of eliminating it completely.

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.

Sometimes the country that has the debt is a country that is trying to develop important sectors within its country so no one can deny this. But a country that has more unemployed people and is also experiencing a recession in the economic sector will make it quite difficult for that country to progress and develop as they wish. Because the government still has to care about the employment sector for many people while overcoming the recession that is taking place in their country, and this will certainly not be so easy to overcome simultaneously.

There are of course, good news. It's just that negative news linger longer in the memory than good news and that's why it seems like we are more flooded with bad news than the good ones. Again, bad news is promoted more by bloggers and content creators because they drive more traffic to their sites than good news.

But you yourself can filter and carefully check what is presented to you in the news.

How does one do that, knowing that news just hit us in our living rooms or space without soliciting our permission? We aren't talking of social media here where we select what sites to visit or not, are we? I mean, one can be watching Bloomberg and be enjoying its content and bang, out from nowhere it flashes breaking news on some FUD on Bitcoin dumping or some whales getting hacked wallet wise or to death or something else like that. You get my drift?

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.

... especially, if those people are from countries where the political landscape has been messed up with brazen and shameless corruption like ours. Honestly, I can't remember when I watched TV too. It's tiring to watch or listen to news and get to constantly hear of several funds always being awarded to various projects and you instinctively realize or dismissively conclude that it's just a way of government settling its loyalists and not that the funds will be for any form of true infrastructural development. It's often "money for the boys."

With this current state of the world and people sitting in top government positions, I guess it is too hard to have at least good economic news, last that I read good news is the post-covid condition which has now a cure at least and people can now back to their normal lives and that's all after this condition and restriction the world backs to the current world before the pandemic happens. If there's any news will comes up sure its just a temporary like the price of gas just a small dump of rollback but after few days or weeks you'll see a price hike again. But well its good too if the news cooperative giving all of the news even its negative to make feed people about the current situation and not just manipulate people.

The service sector has been in retraction but essential industry like agriculture and commodities has been surprisingly durable.  These are sectors which are more important really, retail suffering is an impact on jobs but can also easily rebound as well.   Longer term investment required for mining farming and many export industries are a primary sector still important to a balanced economy in most countries, this is most important to protect and maintain momentum in.
    I would call that positive though it might be a less bright point to make, sales of heavy good vehicles, earth moving equipment is still good and in demand also one of the few companies maintaining vs inflation are these companies hence diversity is a strength in an economy.

Anyone who takes a good analysis of what's happening in the world today will understand that the world is not moving in the right direction. Many things are wrong with the economy of the world and the worse part of it is that there's no sign of betterment anywhere.

The population of bad people has outnumbered that of the good people, such that the fee good ones are turning bad every day. We have little or nothing to do about this because even posterity is infected by the disease of the present.

Politically, things have fallen apart and then region which was supposed to play the role of morality is totally contaminated. This is worse in some certain African countries. The world is terrible. No one is safe and even the rich and the elite group.

You answered your question. People love tragedies; they are happy to film an accident. Instead of quickly helping someone who is in trouble, for what? For the sake of likes, I have no intention of watching something like this, especially not to increase the ratings of videos. You don't have to believe everything that populates your content on the Internet. Maybe this looks like a fence from everything negative, but yes, I’d rather be out of the drama than think about the bad things that pour in on us from TV and social networks. There are many things and news that bring sincere pleasure: children, music, charity—you know what you look at with pleasure.

I know what you mean, but unfortunately we can't run away from the politics, the technological influences happening around the world, the social influences which seem to affect other countries not only where one is from... Things such as the Ukraine Russia war has affected many countries as the way we do trade has been negatively affected, Oil/gas prices have gone up affecting food prices and everything else...

Tbh the hunger for power by many of our leaders does affect our economies as trade agreements are being broken or made and this will take some years to repair and get back to normal otherwise if you are a religious person you need to pray for a miracle for things to get better.

What I've generally found is that some people can get sucked into a perpetual news cycle, which is often slightly more weighted to bad news than it is to good news. This can lead to a distorted and ever growing unbalanced intake of information, that can put you in a sort of pessimistic mood and you can project that mentality on to all things in your life. However there is plenty of good things happening each and every day, which maybe don't get the same level of coverage. Current events can often also be shocking, imagine an earthquake somewhere - that's huge news if a big city is devastated and that can lead to a lot of upheaval to those affected, but smaller news stories will get drowned out of coverage during such a time period. One suggestion: Read less news, as it is a business after all and most of these organizations are hunting a profit.

[JayTrain]

In fact, you are right, there is less and less positive news in the world, and you want to go back to childhood, when you are not interested in news))) maybe with age you become more interested in economic news and this is our problem, we probably need not to get hung up and move on with our lives.  After all, we can’t influence this in any way.

You gave good advice. While many people are dealing with difficulties in their lives, there is no need to watch the negativity in the news and become even more negative. The news shows one negative situation after another in many parts of the world. Watching these over and over again is not a good thing.

I'm not saying you shouldn't watch the news completely, but still, taking time for yourself is more important than many things. A person's mental health is important for both himself and his environment.

Go to official news channel of the government to find great news about the economy since they are the only one that post positive news about the economy while the rest of the news outlet always find a way to nitpick a news against the government. 

But in global news. It’s really hard to find one now that everyone is now suffering with inflation.

Mostly when the people got into the depression and also they fight for their leaders and even they don't know their leaders more than the news and their social media handles explains to them is completely changed. Most of them in which young generation has a great percentage they didn't even have information about their leaders and what they see on these social media's they tend to explain and they also wants others to take care of their talk and they also wants them to be like their leaders which may be politics or any other kind of.

So, these things should be watches but not all the time, it should be given some specific time because watching it all the times created and puts an impact on a person mental health also which is always dangerous to the health of each individual.

You have a point, however the average citizen is becoming more skeptical of whatever claims governments make and this is not really that surprising, after all when you see that everything around you is becoming more expensive and your salary remains the same then who is going to believe their government when they say that everything is OK? No one, so people are more inclined to believe what the media says about the government than the government itself, and this is deservedly so.

This is so true, LOL, this is what happened with my government, they only post good news tho it's not a blatant lie, but they are using a confusing narrative to deceive people. Most of younger generation in here already know how to compare the news with the news from press, but some people still blatantly believe the government, without any check and compare.

[DrBeer]

It's certainly not the most positive time for news right now, but it's still there !
The world economy is stabilizing, at least the one that positively affects the overall picture in the world - the US, EU, other developed countries.
Gas economic terrorism did not work - EU finally came to diversification of supplies and abandoning "strange" dependencies ... The attempt of economic terror against the whole world, through an attempt to blow up the oil market - also failed.
The crypto market is growing, and there are assumptions on further acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a full-fledged player in the real market.

In a word, don't read only bad news, you should look for good news and you will see it !

[Elpeor00]

There is a good deal of positive news about the economy... in specialized economic news outlets, the general public perception about the economy is "always is bad for me" and this public likes to see their bias confirmed in the news, Carlyle's definition as "the dismal science" is the right one in the common people's mind
