Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Anyone got statistics for the real-world data?

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has any of the statistics required for the AQA Unit 2 exam i.e. how the BofE base rate has changed over the years, CPI levels, unemployment rates, GDP and Balance of Payments.

Anyone willing to share this data?

Thanks a lot!

Unemployment: Target is 0 but was as 2.52 million as of yesterday :cool:

Inflation: Target is 2% but was at 2.8% as of March this year and is expected (by the BoE) to reach 3% later this year

Growth: Target is 2.5% but only grew by 0.3% in q1 of this year

Balance of payments I dont know for sure, but you could get away with saying has a target of positive, where exports exceed imports, but is actually the other way around, imports exceed exports.
