Who writes this
Majid Ali Sanghro, Economist
I hold an MA in Economics and have published more than 500 analyses on this site since 2022. My work covers monetary policy, inflation, and the way decisions taken in the largest economies reach ordinary households everywhere else.
Behind the writing sits a research database built directly from the institutions that publish the data, covering the major economies and rebuilt as each new release lands. That is where most of the analysis here starts, and it is why this site can tell you when two official sources disagree with each other.
