Task overview
The assignment consists of 2 parts:
• The first part of your assignment requires you to pay attention to news events that relate to
macroeconomics issues. Each member of the group will be asked to select a news article and
write a summary of what you have learnt from the article.
• The second part of the assignment will be asked to write an update on the condition of the
economy and present your update in the format of a business consultancy report, which is a
type of output you would be expected to produce in a professional working environment. You
