Geoff Riley

2nd April 2008

Share this content:

This revision note is aimed at both AS and A2 economists. In particular it offers some pointers as to the deeper level of understanding and awareness of monetary policy required at A2 level. I have also attached a powerpoint chart file looking at trends in several different interest rates in the UK economy - including base rates, mortgages rates, the rates on unsecured credit and bond yields.
