Conclusions & Suggestions
Improving
A favourable change under this indicator’s stated rule, compared with the same period one year earlier.
Lower unemployment or debt/GDP is positive. Higher employment or a smaller trade deficit is also positive.
Green does not always mean the number increased.
Worsening
An unfavourable change under this indicator’s stated rule, compared with the same period one year earlier.
Higher unemployment or debt/GDP is negative. Inflation moving further from the dashboard’s 2% reference is also negative.
Red describes the observed change, not its cause or the country’s overall condition.
Unchanged / context needed
No improvement or deterioration is assigned. The value may be unchanged, its meaning ambiguous, or the comparison unavailable or delayed.
Imports can rise because of demand or investment, so they remain neutral. Missing or delayed comparisons also remain neutral.
Neutral does not mean good, bad, or zero.
