Why America can't shake off inflation
The Yiddish phrase 'farshlepteh krenk', untranslatable into English, describes an illness that just won't go away. That is how some rich countries' experience of inflation has felt. The rate of price increases has fallen sharply since the acute phase in 2022, when inflation across the OECD rose to nearly 11%, its highest since the 1970s. In June average inflation across the club was around 2.5%, only a smidge above most central banks' targets. But many Anglophone countries still have lingering symptoms. To diagnose the malaise more accurately, we have updated our measure of 'inflation entrenchment' for ten rich countries. We construct this from five indicators: core inflation, unit labour costs, inflation dispersion, inflation expectations and Google-search behaviour. We rank each country on each indicator, then combine the rankings to form an overall score. Chart The results reveal a linguistic divide. Countries in the EU and Asia perform well. France, which also did well the last time we conducted this exercise, in 2024, now has the least entrenched inflation of all the countries we looked at. Chapeau bas to them. Japanese inflation, true to form, has a feeble grip. In the English-speaking world, however, inflation looks chronic. Britain is the worst performer overall. In the year to the second quarter of 2025 the country's core prices (which exclude food and energy) rose by 4.3%. Three-quarters of the items in a Briton's consumer basket have risen in price by more than 2% over the past year—unusually high 'inflation dispersion'. Australia is not far behind, with unit labour costs (what is paid to workers to produce a unit of output) nearly 5% higher in the first quarter than they were a year before. Despite a weaker economy than its southern neighbour, Canada's inflation problem is almost as bad. A few factors may explain the persistence of inflation in these places. From 2022 to 2024 the governments of Anglophone countries, on average, increased their budget deficits by two percentage points of GDP, versus a one-percentage-point contraction elsewhere. This boosted demand—the equivalent of licking doorhandles in an attempt to fight off an illness. English-speaking countries have also welcomed lots of immigrants in recent years. At least in the short run, the new arrivals may push up the prices of certain things, especially housing. Amid this bad news, there is still cause for hope that inflation will soon look less entrenched. The absolute level of inflation entrenchment seems to be ebbing: the country with the least entrenched inflation last time we did the exercise, Japan, would have ranked sixth-worst this time. The Bank of England can point to Britons' weak inflation expectations as evidence that price pressures will soon fade. The Bank of Canada can highlight low inflation dispersion. In addition, most Anglophone governments are simultaneously tightening fiscal policy and slashing immigration. America is the exception. Although immigration is declining, the government still has its foot on the fiscal pedal. And President Donald Trump's tariffs have stoked fears of another round of price rises, as American firms pass their higher costs on to consumers. Americans are more likely than others to Google inflation-related terms. Over the coming year, the public expects prices to rise by 5.5%, higher than people in any other country. A lingering illness is annoying; one that gets worse is harder to bear.

CBSE plan talks on skill education for students
1 2 Ranchi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools have planned talk shows by policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and experts to promote skill education and motivate students to build careers in skill-based fields. CBSE teachers said the skill education committee recently approved the proposal during a meeting of the CBSE management committee. The talks, designed as a series, will allow professionals to share experiences and guide students on career opportunities. Ranchi Sahodaya School Complex president Jitendra Tiwari said, "The talk show series aims to promote skill education and motivate students to pursue careers in various skill areas." CBSE would also launch a community radio station to expand outreach. The station will feature live sessions and interactive discussions, making it accessible to students even in regions with poor internet connectivity. While the board runs a podcast titled Shiksha Vani, the proposed community radio will function differently, focusing on wider accessibility, teachers said. "The series will provide students with an opportunity to learn from professionals and teachers. We are still waiting for detailed guidelines on how to implement it in schools," Tiwari added.

IIT Delhi to train Bihar engineers in AI-based bridge design and health monitoring
The Bihar government has announced a major step towards modernising infrastructure safety by launching an AI-driven bridge training programme for its with IIT Delhi, the Road Construction Department (RCD) will begin a six-month certification course in September than 100 government engineers will undergo training to use drones, sensors and artificial intelligence tools for bridge design, monitoring and The initiative is part of the newly approved Bihar State Bridge Management & Maintenance Policy, 2025, which aims to strengthen in-house technical expertise while reducing reliance on external TRAINING MODULESThe curriculum will focus on cutting-edge modules such as computing Bridge Health Index (BHI) scores through AI and machine learning analysis of drone and sensor will also be trained in real-time monitoring using strain gauges and tilt meters. Another key component includes applying algorithm-based Maintenance Priority Index (MPI) models for repair and rehabilitation DESIGN CELL TO BE ESTABLISHEDIn addition to training, the government will establish a Bridge Design Cell under Bihar Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam Limited (BRPNNL).The facility will be responsible for designing bridges, culverts and retaining walls within the state. Officials estimate that this step could save more than Rs 65 crore annually and cut down on project government is also in discussions with the Indian Academy of Highway Engineers (IAHE) to introduce more specialised training in road and bridge structures, creating a pool of highly skilled AND IMPLEMENTATIONThe Bihar State Bridge Management and Maintenance Policy, 2025 makes it compulsory to use drone inspections for all state-maintained bridges. This approach is expected to provide accurate assessments and help prioritise maintenance work Public Works Minister Nitin Nabin underlined the importance of the move, saying, 'The future of infrastructure lies in technology and self-reliance.'ROLL-OUT IN 2025-26Deployment of the trained engineers will begin in the financial year 2025-26. As part of the implementation, 85 bridges will undergo real-time monitoring, audited jointly by IIT Delhi and IIT combining skill development, technology, and data-driven monitoring, Bihar hopes to build a more resilient and safer bridge network across the state.- EndsMust Watch
