Is China Stumbling in a Deflation Trap?

去年2月,筆者在本專欄撰文,剖析新冠肺炎疫情之後出現的東滯西脹現象。一年半之後的今天,西脹回落,東滯猶在。本月9日,中國經濟運行的統計數據公布,7月份消費價格指數比去年同期下降0.3%,出現了自2021年2月以來的首次按年負增長;不僅如此,生產價格指數的按年跌幅為4.4%,延續6月的下降趨勢。

The Talent in Need is the Talent Indeed

香港正鬧人才荒已經是不爭的事實。根據大型求職網站JobsDB最新發布的《2023年招聘、薪酬及福利調查報告》,有68%受訪企業表示招聘困難,而60%僱主指出填補職位不易,因為「難以招聘合適人才」。特區政府也不再猶抱琵琶半遮面,坦言人才缺口不容忽視。

Getting the best out of the gig economy

筆者兩個月前在本欄撰文〈香江失健筆,本港缺奇才〉,論及香港文藝界花果飄零,創意行業難以振興。一些朋友頗有微詞,責怪筆者沒由來的悲觀。過去兩月,各種藝術節、文化節、展覽會、音樂會接踵而至,乃至五一黃金周前的美食市集、全港戲院日,無不四處人頭湧動,足見本地文藝文化產業活力十足。筆者自問:錯否,錯否?繁花似錦,卻道綠肥紅瘦!
