The industry has experienced declines year-over-year for most of the current period through the end of 2025. Normally, a financially distressed Agricultural sector would cause industry revenue to climb, but the Federal Reserve dropped interest rates to near-zero rates at the onset of the period due to economic volatility and the staggering amount of fiscal aid provided to farmers via the United States Department of Agriculture Emergency Food Purchasing Plan and the Paycheck Protection Plan had greatly reduced farmers' demand for agricultural loans. As inflationary pressures increased throughout the period the Fed raised interest rates to tackle rampant inflation which increased borrowing costs for farmers and reduced loan volumes for the industry. In the latter part of the period, as inflationary pressures eased, the Fed slashed interest rates, which will likely boost loans volumes but reduce interest income on each loan. Overall, industry revenue fell at a CAGR of 3.9% to $18.0 billion over the past five years, including an expected decrease of 2.4% in 2025 alone. In addition, industry profit has lagged during the same time and will account for 7.6% of revenue in the current year. Because of such strong increases in governmental aid as a share of total farm income, net farm income has risen strongly in the past 18 months, which has reduced the sector's reliance on bank loans, with the industry exhibiting a revenue slide as a result of a surprising fiscal stability agricultural sector, barring difficulties in the live-cattle segments because of strong increases in government transfer payments. Moreover, industry profitability lagged due to the high interest rate environment throughout most of the period, which hindered loan demand from agricultural banks. The industry is expected to rebound and climb through the end of 2030 as the farm economy is expected to exhibit growth. With growing agricultural prices and returns to farmers, it is expected that the sector will need to increasingly rely on the industry. Also, the anticipation of potential rate cuts at the onset of the outlook period will reduce borrowing costs, enabling farmers to increase their loan demand. Industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.3% to $19.3 billion over the five years to 2030.

ABSTRACT Objective: this article proposes the meta atuarial consistente (MAC) (consistent actuarial rate), which is a method that adjusts incompatible actuarial rates in pension funds, after investigating and proving that the rate dissociates from the general rule in current regulations (which binds this rate to the expected return of the investments of pension funds). Methodology: a sample with data from 22 defined-benefit plans was collected, and MAC was applied to produce consistent actuarial rates, after panel data methods have identified the elements that influence the definition of the actuarial rate by the pension fund board of trustees. Results: the use of MAC, adjusting actuarial rates of 2018 based on systematic biases in previous rates, enabled a positive effect that unfolds in more reliable estimates for the plans’ mathematical provision, while identifying elements that influence the determination of the annual rate, causing its non-compliance to the general rule. Conclusion: the adoption of MAC by the Brazilian supervisory authority Previc would improve the rules and provide subsidies to better adjust the contribution levels practiced in the plans, making their solvency levels more reliable, which would benefit the development of the insurance and pension market.

Economic welfare is essential in the modern economy since it directly reflects the standard of living, distribution of resources, and general social satisfaction, which influences individual and social well-being. This study aims to explore the relationship between national income accounting different attributes and the economic welfare in Pakistan. However, this study used data from 1950 to 2022, and data was downloaded from the World Bank data portal. Regression analysis is used to investigate the relationship between them and is very effective in measuring the relationship between endogenous and exogenous variables. Moreover, generalized methods of movement (GMM) are used as the robustness of the regression. Our results show that foreign direct investment outflow, Gross domestic product growth rate, GDP per capita, higher Interest, market capitalization, and population growth have a significant negative on the unemployment rate, indicating the rise in these factors leads to a decrease in the employment rate in Pakistan. Trade and savings have a significant positive impact on the unemployment rate, indicating the rise in these factors leads to an increase in the unemployment rate for various reasons. Moreover, all the factors of national income accounting have a significant positive relationship with life expectancy, indicating that an increase in these factors leads to an increase in economic welfare and life expectancy due to better health facilities, many resources, and correct economic policies. However, foreign direct investment, inflation rate, lending interest rate, and population growth have significant positive effects on age dependency, indicating these factors increase the age dependency. Moreover, GDP growth and GDP per capita negatively impact age dependency. Similarly, all the national income accounting factors have a significant negative relationship with legal rights that leads to decreased legal rights. Moreover, due to better health facilities and health planning, there is a negative significant relationship between national income accounting attributes and motility rate among children. Our study advocated the implications for the policymakers and the government to make policies for the welfare and increase the social factors.
