A: Hey, what's up?

B: Not much, just chilling. What's new with you?

A: Well, the government dropped a new report about the economy! They say we're finally getting out of deflation that's been bothering us for over 20 years!

B: Really? That sounds great! What else did they mention?

A: This year's labor talks led to the biggest wage hikes in 34 years! And businesses are passing on these higher costs with product price increases. But...

B: But what, it can't be all good news?

A: Yep, they warn that we could slip back into deflation because wages aren't rising fast enough to keep up with inflation. Plus, US tariffs might be a new threat and slow down growth.

B: Oh no, I hope everything works out!

A: The government says they need to work more on balancing efforts to boost the economy and maintain fiscal health. And get this, supplementary budgets for the past 5 years totaled over 1.1 trillion dollars!
