The Prime Minister should be pleased with the economy's performance in November 2017. I say this because recently he expressed concern about the spread of negativity and the need to focus on positive developments. He has a point, even if with a small limitation. A feeling of optimism and positivity can aid the process of progress as much as negativism can be counterproductive. Attitude is a necessary even if not a sufficient condition for desired outcomes. November offered much on positive developments and therefore much to be optimistic about.
