Coursework  

“Write a report on ONE company of your choice included in the FTSE250 Index.  

The report should evaluate and comment on the impact of recent decisions in both the monetary and fiscal policy of the UK upon the company of your choice. The report should also include an evaluation of potential (future) decisions in both the monetary and fiscal policy of the UK upon the company of your choice as reflected for instance in the minutes of the monthly meetings of MPC and in pre-announcements in terms of fiscal policy (for instance the pre-budget report.
