Unit 2 Macro: King senses the start of a recovery
20th September 2012
Channel 4 news tonight carried a major interview with the Governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King. In it he remarked that there were tentative signs of a stronger and more durable recovery in the British economy. What signs might you look for in assessing whether the economy is moving into a sunnier stage of the business cycle? This would make for a good independent learning assignment and classroom discussion for economists are fond of their own favourite indicators, some of them conventional and predictable, others a little wackier but perhaps useful!
Here are a couple of snippets from the Mervyn King interview on Channel 4
