I just noticed that Bloomberg has raised a rather concerning point on X: reliable economic data is becoming increasingly scarce. This is truly a major issue when the economy is struggling and information to make judgments is lacking.

In fact, forecasting economic downturns has long been neither simple nor straightforward; it is both an art and a science. But now, as comprehensive economic data becomes more scarce, the situation becomes much more complicated. Analysts and policymakers find it difficult to access reliable information, making evidence-based decision-making nearly impossible.

The ability to predict financial crises is also directly affected. Without accurate data on the current state of financial systems, early identification of warning signs becomes almost impossible. This raises serious concerns: can we effectively manage potential economic shocks when the economy is struggling and data support is lacking?

Overall, this lack of information is a real challenge that the financial world is facing.
