Here's a great classroom activity to get students applying their knowledge of macroeconomic indicators and monetary policy in their role as an external member of the Monetary Policy Committee.

Students are presented with five pieces of macroeconomic information and they should use these to inform their recommendation for the setting of interest rates. This process is repeated two more times with different information to generate further discussion.

This is a great way to get students to apply their knowledge of macroeconomics and to practice assuming the role of a stakeholder when presenting their arguments.
