About Niamh

Niamh writes NewsFormal's macroeconomics coverage: growth figures, inflation prints, central bank decisions and fiscal policy. She tries to keep the numbers honest and the jargon to a minimum, focusing on how a data point actually reaches a payroll or a price tag. Outside the data calendar she follows the longer arcs of trade and labor markets.
