Will Ukrainian Missiles and Drones Appear in Moscow's Victory Day Parade?

 Now assume we want to know whether a country’s economy is going well. We can check a few things.

First, are most people working? If yes, that’s good. People have money to spend.

Second, is the country buying more things from other countries than it is selling to them? If yes, that’s a good sign.

Third, has the country created more things like food, clothing or machines? If yes, that shows the economy is growing. This is called GDP.

Fourth, are prices staying normal? If prices go up too fast (which is called inflation) that would be bad for people.

Fifth, are people and businesses feeling okay about the future? If they do, they will spend and invest more.

Sixth, is money being used smartly by the government? If it’s not borrowing too much that helps the economy.

Finally, are new businesses easy to start and grow? If the economy is strong then it’s easier to open and run a business.

These all work together like puzzle pieces. If most of them look good, that’s a sign the economy is doing well. One thing helps another — more jobs mean more spending which helps shops and businesses. It’s all connected.
