What punctuation mark should be used instead of “to be”?
0
The figures are as follows: inflation is 4%, unemployment is 5.4% and interest rate is 8%.
If "is" is to be omitted, what should be used instead? Or nothing?
Thank you very much in advance.

Basically, you invent something. Could use a dash, could use "=", could use a colon (and use something other than a colon for the introductory sentence).
