Top 5 Graphs of the Week – 22 May 2010

Published October 14, 2010

is a strong bounce back since the peak of the crisis, but in each case significant risks remain to continued strong economic growth.

On the inflation front, the EU showed little signs of a pick up in inflation, other than headline measures. While the US results showed little in the way of an upward trend in the past index results. So on both fronts, a reasonably subdued inflation picture in the short to medium term. But what will be interesting to monitor is the medium to long term, and of course – the policy response to this.

So as a one line summary for the data we looked at this week: strong economic growth bounce back with plenty of risks, and relatively subdued inflation pictures in the developed economies.
