Education in economics

The decisions we make on a daily basis are influenced by our economic and social environment. But, at the same time, our decisions shape the economy and society. Having a basic understanding of how the economy works can help people make better-informed decisions about how to manage their personal finances.

This section provides information about various economic concepts, to make it easier to keep abreast of economic developments and better understand their direct or indirect impact on our daily lives.

The publication begins with an initial module about inflation. More content about financial risk and employment and labour income generation will be published in the coming months.

Inflation

This content looks at different aspects of inflation and how it affects our day-to-day decisions.

Here you will find general information, such as the definition of inflation, its effects, the most usual measure of inflation, its main causes and the policies that affect it, as well as the relationship between inflation and interest rates and their impact on financial products such as deposits and loans.
