FYROM tops chart out of 92 country list in Ecomonist Misery Chart .....

-----

After wasting millions and millions of Euros for statues to Greek and Bulgarian heroes, and turning Skopje city centre into a joke, Gruevski has managed to maneuver FYROM into the number one place on the Economist’s Misery Chart.

FYROM comes on top of  Misery index, which combines two powerful indicators of economic gloom—unemployment and inflation.

****More bad news for Europe's troubled economies

THE new year was a bad time for a public figure to die. Kiro Gligorov, the first president of independent FYROM, was rather ignored when he died on January 1st: the foreigners who might normally be interested in such an event were occupied trying to work out whether nuclear war was imminent on the Korean peninsula. FYROM may remember Mr Gligorov fondly, but the country is in a mess. It comes top of our misery index, which combines two powerful indicators of economic gloom—unemployment and inflation. Out-of-control price rises are mainly a problem in oil-rich countries with loopy economic management such as Venezuela and Iran (and, to a lesser degree, Russia). One striking feature of the updated index, however, is that high unemployment now places a number of rich European countries right up there with the most miserable countries in the world—or at least in the 92 for which we have good data.
