Economy news — inflation, central banks and jobs

The Economy section brings together the data and decisions shaping the world economy: inflation and growth, interest rates and central banks, employment, trade and the policy choices of governments. We keep you up to speed on what hits your wallet and the wider outlook.

We explain the economy in plain language, so you understand what is behind the numbers and how decisions by central banks, governments and companies show up in everyday life — in mortgage rates, the price of groceries and the outlook for your line of work.

The economy ties into the bigger picture — follow also markets, companies and personal finance.
