Economic overview?

The economy is still expanding

Still growing, but more slowly than in 2024 — this is not economic contraction

Growth 3.8%year 2025

Prices?

Average prices are still rising

If income grows more slowly, the same money may buy less. Individual prices may change by different amounts.

Inflation 0.1%year 2025

What might this mean for everyday life?

Possible connections, not outcomes for everyone

Cost of living ?

If income grows more slowly, the same money may buy less. Individual prices may change by different amounts.

Jobs and income ?

Year 2025 unemployment was 4.9% of the labor force. This does not tell us how your own job or income will change.

Borrowing and debt ?

The simulator below covers government debt, not your mortgage or car payment. Its interest rate is an assumption, not an actual rate.

Based on annual data, not live data. These results cannot confirm a crisis year or probability.

How to read this ↗

Look back

Is the economy growing or shrinking? ?

Year 2025 growth was 3.8% compared with 3.9% in 2024 · Still growing, but more slowly than in 2024 — this is not economic contraction

The line shows the growth rate, not the size of the economy · Above 0 means expansion; below 0 means contraction · Some years may be revised

Reference example

Under these assumptions · year 2030

Government debt relative to the economy

58.0%

Median in 2030

Equivalent to 58.0 units of debt for every 100 units of economic output

Simulated outcome, not crisis probability

Starting debt observation ?: 55.0% year 2025
Reference example in the same year ?: 58.0%

Read the result in plain language

Debt relative to the economy is close to the reference example

In 2030 the median in this scenario is 58.0%, compared with 58.0% in the reference example

The simulated debt ratio rises from its starting value. Actual outcomes may differ if conditions change.

The reference assumes 5% interest, no growth adjustment, and a 0% primary balance, using the same horizon, debt threshold, and volatility as your scenario.

Starting debt may predate the base year. The model omits factors such as exchange rates, policy changes, and asset revaluations. Lower and upper values cover the central 80% of simulated outcomes, not guaranteed bounds for actual outcomes.
