IAREM score
Independent AUstralia Economic Management ranking is a composite index that measures all major economies in eight indicators. These are national income per capita, GDP growth, media per capita, median reserve, work, inflation, taxation rates, budget balances and state borrowing.
The formula can be easily reproduced with basic electronic table software:
IAREM = ip + gr + mw + j – in – t – bb + gb.
This is the world’s general economic performance index using multiple variables. Data come from the International Monetary Fund (IMF,), World bankSwiss Bank UBS And Trade economy. CIA has additional data when necessary Factbook And elsewhere.
Danish politics reflects Australia
Denmark and Australia have two main political parties to rule the country. In this century, the Danish governments changed four times, the center right Veil He has been running for about 14 years. Reformist Social democrats He has been assigned for almost 11 years, including the last six people.
Australia has made three government changes for nine for nine, including the conservative coalition and the last three, which has ruled for about 16 years.
Economies in both countries are significantly recovered under reformist parties like me this year.AREM Results Confirm.
Australia reached the fifth place this year, seventh last year and 13th in 2023.
Bike for victory
Denmark’s economic rise 2019 change The government is remarkable. Before 2015, the ranking was constantly outside the top 30. Until 2019, the ranking rose to the 20th place, then the economy increased. From the 11th of 2020, he won the eighth in Denmark 2022, then fifth in 2023 and second last year.
This is quite impressive because Denmark is close to the highest taxes in the world, it has only a small industrial base and has very little oil or gas unlike its rich Scandinavian neighbors.
A few reforms contributed to this transformation. Strong unions negotiate collective bargaining agreements that provide high salaries despite the illegal minimum wage.
The transition to wind energy and other renewable energies reduced energy costs. Increased rapidly export Pharmaceutical and medical products have increased national income. See the table below.

However, our favorite explanation is the government in recent years. folded Infrastructure for billions of Danish crowns for bikes.
According to analysts, including ECONOMY ANNOUNCEDBike riding makes people healthier, less stressful and more productive:
“And above personal advantages, bicycle has helped Denmark reduce traffic, improve air quality and reduce the time to go to work, making life easier for workers and economy.”
The US is collapsing
On the contrary, the US economy fell to 19th last year and fell with slower economic growth, deeper debt and per capita income. Considering the frenzy of the Presidency Donald Trumpconstantly changing tariff announcementsThe rejection of long -term trade treaties and the destructive obsession about the enrichment of leaving and reward from majority from majority to mega, this collapse will almost accelerate.
Unfortunately, this column has concluded that the data published by the United States is no longer correct. This is caused by two observations.
First, it shows the latest official data unemployment Lower confirmed in June than May consequences. As well as the picture inflation Consistent numbers reality.
Secondly, seniority from the beginning of the Trump administration employee required in key positions routine On behalf of the president.
Now we have the same reservations as to the US figures published by North Korea, Turkey and Russia. We will continue to use the published data, but we will mark our skepticism.
High taxes are not a problem
This year IAREM results, high taxes are challenging Neoliberal and Liberter schools that disable national economies. This year’s analysis of the 70 economies of Norway had the highest tax, the highest Denmark was fifth and the sixth in Luxembourg. Obviously, high tax rates are not an obstacle to extraordinary general results.
Another lesson emerged. Go to bikes for a solid economy.
