Use the macroeconomic policy objectives as a starting point: economic growth and
increasing employment, stable and low inflation, a sustainable balance of payments
position, and the reduction of inequality.
o HINT: Consider what macroeconomic variables are used to measure these objectives
and which agencies keep records of these. Are they measured on a monthly,

to May 2022? What has been the impact of COVID and the recovery, if any? What else
can you see or say about these variables? Have the Macroeconomic objectives been
met?
