Economy Issue #28

Welcome back to our review of a national economy that defies all logic, where this guy could become an almost-millionaire simply by selling his grandmother’s curtains. Scrap that business plan – turns out all you need are vintage floral drapes!

In this week’s edition:

1. Minimum wage debate roars

2. CB adjusts CPI forecasts

3. FDI: Cash flow monitor

4. This week’s stat round-up
