Governments focus on three key indicators of economic growth: real GDP, employment, and inflation. Managers need to understand how governments implement their fiscal and monetary policies to achieve the goals of economic growth, low unemployment and stable price changes at the national level. In this course, students will analyze and evaluate how changes in fiscal and monetary policy affect the economic and business environment. In addition, learners will explore the role and interconnectivity of consumers, businesses, government agencies, financial intermediaries, and trading partners, as they exchange goods, and services.
