Like the rest of the world Gibraltar is locked into a fight against inflation, with rising prices continuing to spiral upwards becoming an increasing concern for consumers.
The latest retail price index release by the government revealed that in the last quarter inflation had risen by 2.9%, and for the year so far there has been an upsurge in prices of a significant 7.6% by April 1.
In response to what is a fast moving situation, the Chief Minister will address issues of rising prices and inflation in his budget address, which takes place on June 28. Read more

In my view

I also wish to thank from afar, those who were involved in organising such spectacular events for her Majesty`s Platinum jubilee, in the UK. We are after all, part of the British and Commonwealth family; a worldwide brotherhood of nations.
Apart from the parties here organized to celebrate this occasion; sadly the last of jubilee celebrations in her Majesty`s honour in our time; we have seen yet again how the Queen is loved, and the many expressions of gratitude throughout, for having dedicated her entire life in the service of us all. Not even the inclement weather in the north dampened the spirits of those who sat outside to celebrate their party in her honour. Read more

TRIBUTE Joe Garcia - The pen is mightier than the sword

It is more than a question of survival, it is called passing the buck; this is more a matter of disregarding moves made to protect the citizenship from a bad news virus, to converting them instead into government IOU`s; as more and more we appear to be dealing with dissatisfaction on a grand scale locally, from all walks of life.
