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.

The journey to Singapore is just a start
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's visit to Singapore from July 26 to 30 was a strategic exercise in economic diplomacy — an effort to reaffirm his government's commitment to building a globally competitive investment climate while quietly distancing the State from the shadow of policy volatility that marked the previous YSRCP regime. Mr. Naidu's foreign between 2014 and 2019 and now in 2025 are stories of contrasts. Between 2014 and 2019, in his first term as Chief Minister of a State that had been newly bifurcated, Mr. Naidu wanted to create a capital, attract foreign investment, and market Andhra Pradesh as an innovation-led region. Amaravati was the centrepiece of this vision, and Singapore played a starring role through consultancy company Surbana Jurong's master plan. His first-round global engagements were aspirational. They focused on building brand Andhra, learning best practices in governance, agriculture, and infrastructure, and positioning the State as the 'Sunrise Andhra Pradesh'. The results were mixed: he secured significant goodwill and several MoUs, but political headwinds and fiscal constraints meant that not all plans matured into reality. In 2025, the circumstances could not be more different. Returning to power after defeating the YSRCP, Mr. Naidu has inherited a State grappling with damaged investor confidence, policy reversals, and economic slowdown. This time, his travels have the urgency of a rescue mission. The rhetoric has shifted from building something entirely new to repairing and restoring what was lost. The narrative now is 'Reset and Rebuild Andhra Pradesh'. One of the most notable shifts inMr. Naidu's 2025 pitch is its geographic spotlight has moved from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam, now framed as the State's economic nucleus. Amaravati — once his crowning vision — was derailed, mocked, and abandoned under the previous regime. By contrast, Visakhapatnam offers a compelling narrative: a coastal city with thriving port infrastructure, tech parks, and emerging data clusters, well-positioned as the 'Gateway to Southeast Asia'. Singapore investors were told of opportunities in green hydrogen, quantum computing, and digital infrastructure. Mr. Naidu's meetings highlighted Google's interest in establishing a data centre, alongside new housing projects with Surbana Jurong and an Eversendai facility. These signals were meant to show that Andhra Pradesh is back on the map for cutting-edge sectors. Yet the conversations in Singapore were inevitably shaped by the past. The YSRCP government's abrupt withdrawal from key Singapore-linked projects remains fresh in institutional memory. From 2019 to 2024, several high-profile MoUs and joint ventures with Singaporean entities were unilaterally cancelled or left to wither. This had a chilling effect, not just in Singapore but in global business circles that had been watching Andhra Pradesh's trajectory. While no official in Singapore publicly criticised the previous administration during Mr. Naidu's visit, the message during private conversations was reportedly that they would 'revert after making an internal assessment'. The Telugu diaspora's embrace of Naidu was unambiguous. Over 2,500 NRIs gathered to greet him. But in boardrooms, investors wanted to see sustained stability and early wins before making major commitments. Mr. Naidu knows the criticism from his first term — that too many MoUs failed to materialise — still hangs over him. This time, he cannot afford a repeat. For Naidu 2.0 to succeed, agreements must translate into jobs, infrastructure, and visible economic growth. If the Singapore trip yields tangible results within the next year and a half, Mr. Naidu will not only consolidate his position at home but also set a precedent for how Indian chief ministers can leverage foreign engagements to drive State-level economic diplomacy. If not, critics will portray it as an expensive exercise in public relations, echoing the opposition YSRCP's current claims that the visit was more show than substance. The stakes in 2025 are higher than in 2014. Back then, Mr. Naidu had the luxury of time and the novelty of leading a new State. Today, he faces a compressed political calendar and the burden of repairing both the state's economic narrative and his own political legacy. Ultimately, the Singapore visit is less a victory lap than the opening move in a long, complex game.

TDSAT to take a call on Trai fine on telcos for failing to curb spam
Synopsis The Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal will decide next week whether telecom operators must pay ₹141 crore in penalties to TRAI for failing to curb spam. Telcos argue they shouldn't be penalized while the anti-spam platform was being implemented, citing Covid-19 delays. TDSAT previously stayed the penalties, noting the delay wasn't the telcos' fault. New Delhi: The Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) is likely to take a decision next week on whether telecom operators need to pay nearly Rs 141 crore as penalty to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) for not curbing tribunal is hearing the matter after telcos challenged the Trai, arguing that they should not be penalised for the time when the anti-spam platform was being implemented. At the last hearing held on August 8, the regulator had filed an affidavit containing the requisite details sought by the tribunal, and the next hearing is scheduled for August 20. The telcos are also expected to submit their response to the affidavit. The regulator had levied penalties on all three private telcos - Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea - as well as state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) for failing to control spam. However, the operators challenged the levy arguing that the regulator should not have slapped the penalties when an anti-spam platform was still being developed. The TDSAT had stayed Trai's penalties in January. The fines were levied as part of the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018. The telcos argued that the delay in implementation of spam control measures was caused due to Covid-19 and that they were not responsible for it. To support their point, they submitted details to the TDSAT stating that when Trai imposed the penalties, the digital consent acquisition (DCA) platform was still being deployed. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had already rejected the demand for Trai to encash bank guarantees of telcos for not paying the fine. While staying the penalties in its January 28 order, the TDSAT observed that telecom firms were not responsible for the delay in implementation of the regulations, including the DCA. "Thus, it is unfair and arbitrary on the part of the respondent to impose financial disincentives on the appellants (telcos) for something which was beyond their control," it said in the order. While the issue of spam has been tackled by multiple stakeholders, the results remain less than satisfactory. The telcos have been asking for telemarketers to be brought under regulatory control, a move supported by the DoT but so far, Trai is yet to move on the issue. Trai's current mechanism to curb spam communications puts the onus on telcos to check the menace, while telemarketers, who are at the heart of aggregating and disseminating commercial messages using telco channels, are not under any regulatory ambit, and practically not accountable, said industry experts. Trai currently levies fines on telcos for spam messages and calls on their networks. Telcos have commercial binding agreements with telemarketers and, as per Trai, operators should recover the penalty from telemarketers.
