KEY ECONOMICS STATISTICS

Hey guys!
I'm just a bit lost on the types of data we need go know for the exam. What stats do you recommend learning and do we have to know averages, and specific numbers for each month, etc?

Three key are output, inflation and unemployment... inflation is change in price level saw that last year I.e. (P_t+1/P_t)-1... other ones are trade balance current account capital account and exchange rates... other stuff is trade weighted index... but maybe just focus first three and be able to understand the rest... just a brainstorm!

One thing to note about statistics, be sure that they are actually needed for your responses.
Do not put it in to make you look "smart"!

The 3 key ones you can use in majority of questions is Economic Growth (GDP), Interest Rates and Inflation.

Hence why i'm in all these different threads and boards.
