The economy is showing signs of growth.
NB: This may change in the future, but as of now this frame subsumes three closely-related cause/perceiver alternations: a.) perception of a specific Perceiver caused by an Agent, b.) perception of some implicit audience caused, possibly unintentionally, by an Actor, and c.) perception of some implicit audience caused by a Medium or Entity. Perhaps this frame is too broad - the different subject FEs seem to all indicate different ways of "showing."
