Statistics Seen through Pink Glasses

A lesson in positive thinking from the prime minister.

"Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko called the 1.9-percent monthly increase in September's industrial output a record.

She made a statement to this effect at a government meeting on Wednesday, saying this rise is an evidence of crisis slowdown and return to pre-crisis production volumes".


Of course, a good journalist should add the yoy statistics to the prime minister's statement.
