2025

(with data from December '24)


As we welcome the new year, it's fascinating to look back at the economic journey that marked the final stretch of 2024. The numbers tell a story of resilience and transformation—a tale of a nation adapting to challenges and embracing opportunities.

Unemployment remained a key focus, with December recording an 8% rate, a slight increase from November's 7.8%. While these figures hint at challenges in the labor market, they also serve as a call to action for industries, policymakers, and innovators to create pathways for growth and opportunity. Every small effort contributes to the bigger picture, and these numbers remind us of the immense potential waiting to be tapped.

On a brighter note, inflation brought a sense of relief with its steady decline over the months. From 6.21% in October to 5.22% in December, this downward trajectory signals greater stability and improved economic balance. For businesses and consumers alike, lower inflation means increased purchasing power, fostering a more confident and dynamic market.

These figures are more than just statistics; they are reflections of the collective effort, strategy, and resilience that drive the nation forward. At Laqshya Media Group, we find inspiration in these economic shifts, recognizing that every challenge is an opportunity to innovate and excel.

As we dive into 2025, let's carry forward the spirit of adaptability and ambition. Together, we can turn insights into impactful actions and contribute to shaping an even brighter economic narrative.
