Introduction

Inflation Statistics: Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises, eroding purchasing power. It's measured using indices like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producer Price Index (PPI). Inflation can result from increased production costs, higher demand for products and services, or expansionary monetary policies.

Central banks, like the Federal Reserve in the U.S., manage inflation through monetary policy, aiming to keep inflation at a moderate and stable level. Inflation impacts economies by influencing interest rates, wages, and overall economic growth.

This table contains figures on the average price development of the selling prices, the import prices and the domestic consumption of industrial products with a base year of 2015=100. This data is available for both domestic and foreign sales. The products are classified based on the goods classification PRODCOM (PRODuction COMmunautaire).

Data available from January 2012 up to and including December 2023.

Status of the figures: The data for August 2023 up to and including December 2023 and the 2023 annual rate are provisional. Since this table has been stopped, the data is no longer made definitive.

Changes as of March 6th 2024 None, this table is stopped.

When will new figures be published? The results in this series are based on 2015=100. Due to the base shift this table is stopped. Figures based on 2021=100 are published in table Producer Price Index (PPI), output and importprices by product, 2021=100.

In this table international comparisons are made of macroeconomic conditions on the basis of a number of elementary performance indicators: - Inflation; - Long-term interest rate; - Net borrowing/lending of consolidated general government sector; - General government debt; - Unemployment; - Imports and exports, related to Gross Domestic Product (GDP); - Goods trade with non-EU countries; - Container transport. These indicators give an overall picture of the international competitive position of a country. The macroeconomic circumstances define the basic climate within which companies develop their activities. Good macroeconomic conditions ensure a favourable climate in which enterprises can function well. Note: Comparable definitions are used to compare the figures presented internationally. The definitions sometimes differ from definitions used by Statistics Netherlands. The figures in this table could differ from Dutch figures presented elsewhere on the website of Statistics Netherlands. Data available from 1990 up to 2012. Status of the figures: The external sources of these data frequently supply adjusted figures on preceding periods. These adjusted data are not mentioned as such in the table. Changes as of 22 December 2017: No, table is stopped. When will new figures be published? Not.

Adding to national debt is an inevitable fact of being President of the United States. The extent to which debt rises under any sitting president depends not only on the policy and spending choices they have made, but also the choices made by presidents and congresses that have come before them. Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush President Ronald Reagan increased the U.S. debt by around **** trillion U.S. dollars, or ****** percent. This is often attributed to "Reaganomics," in which Reagan implemented significant supply-side economic policies in which he reduced government regulation, cut taxes, and tightened the money supply. Spending increased under President George W. Bush in light of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. To finance the wars, President Bush chose to borrow the money, rather than use war bonds or increase taxes, unlike previous war-time presidents. Additionally, Bush introduced a number of tax cuts, and oversaw the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis. Barack Obama President Obama inherited both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the financial crisis. The Obama administration also did not increase taxes to pay for the wars, and additionally passed expensive legislation to kickstart the economy following the economic crash, as well as the Affordable Care Act in 2010. The ACA expanded healthcare coverage to cover more than ** million more Americans through programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Though controversial at the time, more than half of Americans have a favorable view of the ACA in 2023. Additionally, he signed legislation making the W. Bush-era tax cuts permanent.
