據了解,痛苦指數是根據通貨膨脹水平與失業率這兩大最令消費者不快樂的因素而得出的,痛苦指數愈低,該經濟體就愈是幸福。
泰國曾在去年5月發生政變,2015年人均GDP預測排名甚至不及最“痛苦”的委內瑞拉,但在統計中,泰國卻高居最幸福經濟體之首。這部分歸因于其異常低的失業率。目前,泰國失業率不足1%,并且尚未引發通脹。
在發達國家中,瑞士成為最幸福的經濟體。彭博預計,瑞士今年失業率為3.3%,價格將下降0.9%,對于一個歐洲發達國家而言,這是一個極好消息。
中國大陸今年相對低的通脹和失業率使其成為全球第七“幸福”的經濟體,較一年前上升兩位。中國大陸1月CPI同比上升已經跌破1%,只上漲0.8%,創2009年1月以來新低。瑞穗證券首席經濟學家沈建光稱,今年物價走勢不容樂觀,預計全年CPI漲幅在1.6%左右。
美國排名第八,原因是失業率的持續上升,2月6日,美國勞工統計局發布數據,1月份美國失業率為5.7%,比上月的5.6%略有上升。1月份失業人數898萬人,比上月增加29萬人。
委內瑞拉成為最痛苦的經濟體,預計全年的通脹率將達到78.5%,據外媒報道,由于國內基本生活物品嚴重短缺,委內瑞拉已經于2月與鄰國特立尼達和多巴哥開啟用石油換取紙巾的交易。此外,陷入武裝沖突和經濟危機的烏克蘭、希臘、西班牙等歐洲經濟體的痛苦指數也較高。(中國進出口網)
