Introduction

Economic condition refers to the current state of the economy in a state. This condition alters over time
besides the economic and trade cycles, as an economy goes through periods of development and
compression. Economic conditions are considered to be sound or positive when an economy is
developing and are seen as unfavorable or negative when an economy is contracting. A country's
economic condition is affected by various economic factors, including condition of the world economy,
unemployment levels, adequacy, exchange rates, inflation and several other components. A few economic
indicators such as the unemployment rate and GDP growth rate are observed closely by advertise
members, as they offer assistance to create an appraisal of economic conditions and potential changes in
them. A plenty of economic indicators can be utilized to characterize the state of the economy or
economic conditions, counting the unemployment rate, levels of current account and budget surpluses or
deficits, GDP growth rates and inflation rates. By and large speaking, economic indicators can be
categorized as leading, coincident or lagging. Broadly speaking, they portray likely future economic
conditions, current economic conditions or conditions of the later past. Financial analysts are regularly
most fascinated by leading indicators as a way to understand what economic conditions will be like
within the following three to six months. For illustration, indicators like new orders for manufactured
products and new housing demonstrate the pace of future economic activity because it relates to the rate
of manufacturing output and lodging development. Other indicators that can indicate future economic
conditions include the consumer confidence index, new production line orders and trade inventories.
Indicators of economic conditions give vital insights to financial specialists and businesses. Financial
specialists utilize indicators of economic conditions to adjust their views on economic growth and
profitability. An enhancement in economic conditions would lead financial specialists to be more
idealistic about the future and possibly contribute more as they anticipate positive returns. The inverse
may well be genuine on the off chance that economic conditions worsen. Also, businesses monitor
economic conditions to gain knowledge for their own development and benefit. A decently normal way of
determining growth would be to utilize the past year's drift as a pattern and expand it with the most recent
economic information and projections that are most relevant to their items and services. For instance, a
construction company would see economic conditions in the housing sector to understand whether
momentum is making strides or abating and adjust its trade methodology appropriately.

New Zealand
 8

Economic Overview

New Zealand is a high-income nation with a GDP of $249.9 billion. Among the major countries, she
positions 49th in the global economic ranking. New Zealand comprises an exceptionally good GDP, but
its economy is very narrow globally. The economic history of New Zealand shows that its economy from
the late 1890s till the mid-1950s was reliant on agrarian exports. But, since the mid-1950s, New Zealand
lost reliability on agrarian exports. The reasons for this slump in the trade were the UK's deteriorating
financial development (because it held the largest share of these exports) and its alliance with the EU. Not
just that, the high taxes imposed upon agrarian items (butter, meat, etc.) by industrialized nations such as
the USA reduced the export of these agrarian items. After the fall in agrarian exports, New Zealand’s
attention was drawn by the products like wine, tourism, etc. Government mediation has been a common
marvel within the economy of New Zealand, from competition between government authorities in
managing an account to the comprehensive social security system. During 1980-1985, the government of
New Zealand approved such way of handling accounts, but after 1985, the government put aside this
practice and moved towards a new way of handling accounts, despite the comprehensive social security
system was not put aside rather it was upgraded. Though the agrarian and manufacturing exports lost faith
of the government, many state-owned ventures soon started contributing to the economy of New Zealand.
In addition, the state tried to make the labor market more flexible by imposing labor laws and
encouraging its people for immigration.

Current economic condition

The economy of New Zealand is quite steady. It has experienced unfaltering development. Its economy is
dependent generally on agriculture. Other than agriculture the economy of New Zealand depends on
tourism, international education, trade of products and services, etc. All these things have a
noteworthy impact on the economy of New Zealand. These things contribute altogether to the GDP of
New Zealand. Not as it were that, financial markers such as the inflation rate, unemployment rate, etc. are
influenced too. 

The graph below is about the GDP of New Zealand:

GDP

From the graph, we observe that the GDP of New Zealand from 2018-2022 were respectively
$211.95B, $213.43B, $211.73B, $249.89B and $255.38B.

In 2018 the GDP of New Zealand was around $211.95B. During that period there was a slight decline in
the agricultural sector due to drought created in some parts of the country. The service sectors such as
tourism and others continued to expand despite the fall in agriculture.

In 2019 the GDP of New Zealand was about $213.43B. This GDP growth was quite slower in the last
year, about only 2.8%. The cause of this economic decline was the overall global economic condition, and
less profit from the business entities. Not only that the service sectors such as tourism faced a slight
decline.

In 2020, the GDP decreased to $211.73B. The rate of decline was quite enormous too which was around
2.9%. The main cause of this decline was the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost all the sectors were severely
affected by the pandemic. New Zealand experienced an economic decline of about 3%, the highest in the
last 29 years.

In 2021, the GDP of New Zealand boosted and raised to $249.89B which was a huge upgrade in its
economy. In 2021 some stern measures were taken by the government of New Zealand which included
the successful containment of the covid virus, necessary funding for businesses by the government, and
strict security on the border of the country. Only in the first quarter of 2021, the GDP grew by 1.6% which
was a major success in the economy of New Zealand. Among the service sectors apart from tourism, the
construction and manufacturing sector started to boost during this period.
 10

In 2022, the GDP rose to $255.38B. During this period, the export of agricultural products contributed
largely to the GDP and other than agriculture, the tourism, manufacturing and construction sector
continued to expand too.

Now comes inflation. The inflation of New Zealand from 2018-2022 has been depicted graphically
below:

Inflation

From the graph above we observe that the inflation in New Zealand from 2018-2022 were respectively
1.60%, 1.62%, 1.71%, 3.94% and 7.2%.

If we observe, we can see that the inflation in New Zealand was quite stable from 2018-2020. The growth
rate of inflation was not that much notable rather it was negligible. But after 2020, in 2021 the inflation
rose to 3.94% from 1.71%, almost 2%. The cause of this high inflation is the COVID-19 pandemic. After
the pandemic, there were problems such as economic dislocation, supply chain problems, price outgoing,
etc. Not only that strong consumer demand driven by low unemployment also added to this rising
inflation rate. In 2022, the inflation rate rose further to an astonishing 7.2% with a growth rate of almost
4% which is double the growth rate of the previous year. The increase in prices of household utilities
contributed the most to the rising inflation in 2022. After household utilities, the next largest contributor
to the rising inflation was the food group. The costs of foods such as vegetables, meat and other dairy
 11

items increased quickly during this period. There was moreover a colossal increase within the costs of
transport, which boosted the inflation rate.

Now comes the unemployment rate. The graph below is about the unemployment rate in New Zealand:

Unemployment (in %)

Unemployment

From the graph, we see that the unemployment rate in New Zealand from 2018-2022 was separately
4.33%, 4.11%, 4.59% 4.12% and 3.4%.

Within the chart, we will see that the unemployment rate in New Zealand has been very consistent in
2018 and 2019. But in 2020, the unemployment rate increased to 4.59% from 4.11% with a growth rate of
0.48%. This rise in the unemployment rate is mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the
pandemic, many industries, and organizations were forced to shut down their operations and many
employees and workers were laid off thus the rate of unemployed people increased in the country. But in
2021, the unemployment rate decreased to 4.12%, almost the same as before the pandemic. It is mainly
because the government of New Zealand took various incentives in the post-pandemic period. They
expanded their scope within the service sectors, particularly within the tourism sector. As a result, there
was a need for work for numerous individuals and hence the unemployment rate in New Zealand was
brought beneath control. Once more in 2022, the unemployment rate decreased further and came down to
3.4% which was a great indicator of the financial development of New Zealand. Towards the conclusion
of September 2022, more individuals in New Zealand felt that they were secured in their occupations and
hence more individuals were empowered to become a portion of the work force in New Zealand. About
newly 46000 permanent employees and 12000 part-time employees were added to the labour force in
 12

2022. Not only that the wages of current employees increased by 3.7%. And thus, for these reasons rate of
employment continued to rise in New Zealand.

Analyzing the GDP, inflation rate and unemployment rate of New Zealand we decide that the current
economic condition of New Zealand is good and stable. Though it was a bit unstable during the covid-19
pandemic, the initiatives of the government of New Zealand in tackling the pandemic tactfully and
restoring the economic condition of New Zealand have made the economy of New Zealand a role model
in the global economy.

History

The economic history of New Zealand is characterized by critical shifts and changes over time.

1. Early Economy (Pre-European Contact to Mid-19th Century):

 13

residential businesses, pointing for self-sufficiency. This period saw the development of fabricating

6. Service-Based Economy and Worldwide Integration (Late 20th Century to Show):

Over time, New Zealand's economy moved towards a more service-based structure. Tourism, instruction,
fund, and information technology got to be noteworthy contributors to GDP development. The nation
effectively sought after exchange assertions, counting the Closer Financial Relations with Australia, the
ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Exchange Assentation, and more as of late, the Comprehensive and
Dynamic Understanding for Trans-Pacific Organization (CPTPP).

Nowadays, New Zealand includes a differentiated economy with qualities in farming, cultivation, ranger
service, tourism, fabricating, and administrations. It faces continuous challenges such as efficiency

Japan

Economic Overview
The third-largest economy in the world, Japan is a highly industrialized, sophisticated country that has
always led the way in technological development. Despite recent economic challenges such a declining
population, rising debt levels, and global economic downturns, Japan has maintained a strong economy
with steady growth.
The Japanese economy is primarily driven by the export of high-tech products including machinery,
robotics, and electronics. The country's services sector, which includes retail, tourism, banking, and
insurance, is also expanding. Notably, Japan is famous for possessing some of the world's most advanced
transportation and infrastructure systems.
One of the things that sets Japan's economy apart is its unique economic structure, which is characterized
by close collaboration between the government, business, and labor. This system, which is sometimes
referred to be capitalism in the Japanese manner, has aided in the country's long-term stability and rapid
growth.
The economic outlook for Japan is generally positive, with economists predicting steady growth and
continued innovation in key sectors. However, the country's economic challenges, including an aging
population, declining birth rate, and massive public debt, remain significant concerns that will need to be
addressed over the coming years.

Current Economic Situation

Japan has one of the greatest Gross Domestic Products (GDP) in the world. According to the World Bank,
Japan will have the third-largest economy in the world, behind China and the United States, with a GDP
of more than $4.9 trillion in 2020.
The focus of Japan's highly industrialized varied economy is on the high-tech, manufacturing, and
services sectors. Among the leading sectors in Japan are transportation, electronics, machine tools, and
processed foods. Strong technical innovation inside the country has significantly aided in its economic
growth.
As of 2021, a number of issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, an aging population, and geopolitical
tensions, have an uneven impact on Japan's economy. Japan is the world's third-largest economy and is
highly dependent on exports, particularly to the United States and China, both of which have been
impacted by the pandemic.
Japan's GDP contracted by 5.1% in 2020 due to the pandemic, but there has been a modest recovery of
1.9% in the first quarter of 2021. The country's GDP per capita is estimated to be $41,448, which is high
in comparison to other countries.
 21

Figure: Japan’s GDP growth from 2018-2022

For a very long period, Japan has had low inflation. In fact, over the past few decades, it has been so low
that the country has been struggling with deflation. When the cost of products and services keeps going
down, deflation sets in. This is harmful for the economy since it might lead to a slowdown in economic
activity. Since the inflation rate has been close to zero for many years, the government has been making
efforts to raise it through measures like a tightening of monetary policies and increased government
expenditure.

The aging population of Japan, which has led to lower productivity and a labor shortage, is another
crucial factor in the country's economic situation. To address this issue, the government has taken a
number of steps, including boosting immigration and promoting women's participation in the economy.
Japan has been fiercely competing with other countries, especially those in Asia where labor expenses are
relatively less expensive. The pressure from this competition on Japanese firms to keep their prices low is
the cause of the low inflation rate in Japan.
Overall, the epidemic is still having an impact on Japan's economy, but the government is taking steps to
promote economic development and combat issues including an aging population and deflation.

History
The history of Japan's economy began during the Edo period (1603–1867), when the country was cut off
from the outside world and had a self-sufficient agrarian economy. But as the country's isolation ended in
1868, modernity and industry were embraced.
The Meiji administration began an industrialization and modernization program after taking office in
1868. Japan developed a capitalist economy and adopted Western economic principles. This strategy
supported private enterprise and a market economy while placing a major focus on infrastructure
development.
Japan's industrial sectors had substantial growth towards the beginning of the 20th century. The nation's
successful manufacturing industry is a result of its highly educated workforce, sophisticated financial
system, and robust governmental support. Japan's success in military manufacturing throughout the first
half of the 20th century substantially strengthened its industrial basis.
Japan's economic development peaked in the 1980s. The nation's stock market boomed, and Japanese
businesses quickly expanded abroad. Japan's economy rose to global acclaim, and it appeared that it
would remain the dominant force in international trade.
Yet, a stock market meltdown and a recession in the late 1980s crippled Japan's economy. A protracted
period of economic stagnation was brought on by the nation's high levels of debt and the burst of its real
estate bubble. Since then, Japan's economy has had difficulties, and growth has not been as strong as in
the past.
Japan has prioritized reviving its economy in recent years by increasing expenditure on infrastructure and
technical breakthroughs. The elderly population and falling birth rates have also presented problems for
the nation.

Development Strategy
Japan's growth strategy may have its roots in the immediate aftermath of World War II, when the country
was still dealing with the aftereffects of the war and a severe economic crisis. In response to this issue, the
Japanese government and business community collaborated to create a comprehensive development
strategy meant to advance economic growth and social welfare.
The development strategy Japan has adopted may be characterized as one that involves significant
government intervention and strategic private sector participation. The government provided the
 23

necessary institutional, regulatory, and infrastructure support to promote private sector investment,
productivity, and innovation. Adoption of policies stressing industrialization, technical innovation, and
global trade benefited this strategy.
Education was one of the cornerstones of Japan's development strategy. A key component of Japan's
economic and social growth is said to be education. With policies aimed at boosting enrollment rates,
enhancing the quality of education, and fostering research and development initiatives, the government
made significant investments in education.
A key element of Japan's overall economic strategy was its industrial policy. The government
concentrated on specific industries in its growth strategy and made substantial expenditures in them, such
as steel, shipbuilding, and electronics. It was crucial to concentrate on key industries in order to offer
Japan a competitive edge on the global market.
A key component of Japan's economic strategy was the expansion of global commerce. Japan launched an
industrialization plan that was centered on exports, which helped the country become more well-known
on the international scene. The government provided incentives, including as tax breaks and subsidies, to
encourage private sector investment in the export industry and to boost exports.
In conclusion, Japan's development strategy spanning a number of decades mostly succeeded in
encouraging economic growth and social welfare. The nation does, however, confront additional
difficulties in the twenty-first century, such as an aging population and poor economic development.
Japan may need to implement new development policies that support innovation, sustainability, and social
equality in order to overcome these obstacles.

Kuwait

Overview of the economy

Kuwait is one of the richest countries in the world, situated in Western Asia. Kuwait’s currency name is
Dinar, the most valued currency in the world. According to the World Bank, based on the per capita
income the position of Kuwait is fifth. The position of Kuwait’s GDP is 20 th all over the world. Its
economy is based on petroleum. Almost all of Kuwait's wealth is derived from the extraction and
processing of petroleum, either directly or indirectly through investments made abroad. The continuous
and rapid growth of Kuwait's oil industry during the 1970s has been the most striking aspect of its
economic prosperity. By the middle of the 1980s, Kuwait was domestically refining 45% of its oil and
selling about 250,000 barrels per day in its European retail locations under the brand "Q8." Kuwait had
one of the greatest per capita incomes in the world thanks to this oil money and the investment income it
produced, which by the 1980s exceeded direct sales of oil profits. However, the 1980s saw a significant
decline in this income due to both the Iraqi invasion (which almost completely depleted Kuwait's outside
investment incomes) and the rising instability of the world oil market. However, income levels recovered
as oil prices sharply increased in the early 21st century. In contrast, Kuwait's other economic sectors are
poor; commerce, manufacturing, and agriculture together only make up a modest part of the GDP.
Agriculture's potential for development has very few options. Only a small fraction of the land is arable,
yet due to water shortages, poor soil quality, and a lack of employees with agricultural expertise, only a
small portion of that land area is being farmed. As a result, agriculture's contribution to economic output
is minimal. The Persian Gulf has an abundance of fish, and Kuwait's fishing sector was a major one
before oil was discovered. The custom is being practiced today by the United Fisheries of Kuwait.
Besides oil, one of the few goods Kuwait continued to export after World War II was shrimp. By the
middle of the 1990s, shrimp production had fully recovered after the Persian Gulf War's environmental
 29

devastation in the Gulf. On the other hand, Natural gas is produced in enormous quantities alongside
crude oil. Although it has a lot of potential as a source of foreign currency, natural gas has primarily been
employed for maintaining pressure in oil fields, producing electricity (particularly for water distillation),
and manufacturing petrochemicals and fertilizers (from which Kuwait exports some small amounts).

Current economic condition

Kuwait has a high-income mixed economy that is heavily dependent on oil reserves. The country`s fiscal
situation is generally strong with large sovereign wealth funds and high foreign exchange reserves. The
government has implemented several measures to encourage private sector growth, including
privatization efforts and incentives for foreign investment.

In 2018, the GDP of Kuwait was USD 141.48B. It was higher than the next few years’ GDP. In 2019, it
decreased and it’s $137.46B. This year, it has decreased by 2.8% from before. Because of the Covid
pandemic, the GDP of Kuwait was going low and in 2020 it was $116.18B. During the Covid pandemic,
the world faced an economic crisis because of lockdown. During that time, oil production got low and
GDP decreased than before and we can see in 2020 GDP was the lowest in this 5 years GDP. In 2021,
GDP got higher than in 2020 because the world was recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, and this
year GDP was $122.70B. In 2022, GDP increased more than in 2021 and it’s $132.59B. Though the GDP
of Kuwait is increasing after 2020, still it didn’t reach 2018’s GDP.

Now comes for the Inflation rate. The rate at which prices increase over a specific time period is known
as inflation. Inflation is often measured in broad terms, such as the general rise in prices or the rise in a
nation's cost of living. But it can also be computed more precisely for some products, like food, or for
services, like a haircut, for instance. In any situation, inflation refers to how much more expensive the
pertinent collection of goods and/or services has grown over a predetermined time frame, most frequently
a year.

The chart represents the inflation rate for the years 2018 to 2022.
According to the figure, the inflation rate in 2018 was 0.58%, implying that prices climbed by less than
1% on average that year. The inflation rate grew to 1.1% in 2019, suggesting that prices were rising at a
somewhat quicker rate than the previous year.
In 2020, the inflation rate rose to 2.11%, which might be attributed to a variety of factors including supply
chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in consumer behavior, and government
regulations.
In 2021, the inflation rate was 3.48%, suggesting a significant increase in the overall price level of goods
and services compared to prior years. This might be attributed to a number of causes, including increased
demand for products and services when the economy reopened, interruptions in supply chains, and higher
energy and commodity prices.
The figure also shows an estimate for 2022 inflation, which is anticipated to rise to 3.92%. This implies
that prices will continue to rise at a reasonably rapid pace, which might have substantial economic
consequences such as lowering purchasing power and raising business costs.

The percentage of the labor force without a job in a country is known as the unemployment rate. It is a
lagging indicator, which means that rather than foretelling changes in economic conditions, it often rises
or decreases in response to them. The unemployment rate is likely to increase when the economy is
struggling and there are few open positions. It is reasonable to anticipate a decline in it when the economy
is expanding healthily and there are plenty of available jobs.

According to the graph, the unemployment rate in 2018 and 2019 was 2.16%, indicating that the labor
market was generally stable and there were little job losses during these years.
However, the unemployment rate rose to 3.33% in 2020, most likely as a result of the economic
consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The epidemic forced many firms to cease or curtail their
operations, resulting in major job losses and rising unemployment.
In 2021, the unemployment rate fell significantly to 2.82%, indicating that the economy was beginning to
recover from the pandemic. However, the rate remained higher than the pre-pandemic levels of 2018 and
2019.
The graph also shows an estimate for the unemployment rate in 2022, which is predicted to rise to 3.4%.
This shows that the labor market may still be recuperating from the epidemic, with sustained job losses or
reduced hiring in particular areas of the economy. Overall, the figure shows that many economic factors,
such as pandemics, changes in consumer behavior, and shifts in industry patterns, can have an effect on
the unemployment rate.
