Economic Progress

These are the charts that defined the global economy in 2017

A picture illustration shows Kazakhstan's tenge and U.S. dollars banknotes in Almaty, Kazakhstan, August 21, 2015. Kazakhstanis took to social media on Friday to mock and grumble as vendors hiked their prices after veteran leader Nursultan Nazarbayev let the tenge currency join a global wave of devaluations.The tenge rate tumbled by 26.2 percent on Thursday to 255.26 per dollar as the central bank and government decided to let it float freely, seeking to support an economy hit by low world prices for its oil and metals exports.
