Title: Budgetary Policy
Post by: sam.utute on June 24, 2012, 11:29:22 am
Has everyone started studying Unit 4?

What are you guys finding difficult?

Looked at this year's budget yet?

Feel free to post budgetary policy related questions on this thread :)

Do we need to know stuff from the budget for the exam? Isn't the exam only concerned with performance for the past 4 years, rather than next year's?

You definitely need to know about the 2012-13 Budget. While you're correct in assuming that it's forward looking, it will still have an impact this year. By last 4 years, they mean this year's budget, and the previous three years.
It's advisable to learn a few specific policies that relate to every economic goal (the actual figures in billions of dollars).

We begun looking at Unit 4 stuff a week ago, it seems pretty straightforward but I haven't had a chance yet to do any questions or apply the knowledge so I'm feeling a bit insecure about it.

I'll be seeing you on saturday for the eco lecture!! lol

Awesome! We'll be going through lots of questions, so hopefully you'll feel more comfortable by the end of the lecture!
