The ECB

I have just finished a Higher Level Economics lesson with my U6th where we have been discussing the role of the ECB. Whilst putting together material for the lesson I discovered some superb video clips from the ECB website that provide an excellent insight into the history of the bank, its current role, policy tools, remit and future direction.

The About the ECB clip always provides some excellent material to spark a discussion on the arguments in favour of the single currency.

We finished the lesson in a light hearted way by watching the price stability cartoon. My students were especially amused by the inflation and deflation monsters!
