What you'll learn: - Understand core microeconomic concepts including demand, supply, market equilibrium, and consumer behavior. - Analyze macroeconomic indicators such as GDP, inflation, unemployment, and fiscal policy. - Explore banking systems, monetary policy tools, and the role of central banks in controlling money supply. - Examine international trade principles, balance of payments, and foreign exchange markets. - Study modern economic developments, including digital currencies and contemporary global trade challenges. - Practice applying economic theories to real-world scenarios and typical exam-style analytical questions. The course begins with foundational definitions and key terminology before moving into market mechanics, national income accounting, and public finance.
