Macro-economy
The wider, general economic environment can be defined as a system that attempts to solve the basic "economic problem" - resources are limited, human wants are infinite.All organisations including the University of Durham, DU On Fitness are affected directly and indirectly by the macro-economy. The following is a report outlining the past, present and forecast state of the macro-economy. I will concentrate on three main government objectives;For each I will evaluate the likely effects on DU On Fitness at present and in the future. Each objective will be compared to observe changes from 1998 - 2002 and I will also evaluate the forecast through to 2005.Inflation is said to be a "general rise in prices across the economy"."RPI is a key indicator in the progress of the economy, and is indirectly used to calculate quarterly consumer spending on retail goods and the output of the retail sector" - (www.guardian.co.uk)State of Inflation as at January 1998 - January 1999Please Note: All of my figures are shown as averages. January 1999 December 1998 Lowest Highest
If we compare this to the first three months of the year this is up from previous estimates of 0. uk)The graph below shows the above figures and also includes averages throughout the year. To conclude, I would say that the three government objectives that I have discusses in my report are three extremely dynamic, yet extremely influential to our economy. So, generally, our services become used much less. When the economy goes into recession, unemployment rises. This can have negative effects on DU On Fitness in the long-term, especially as our income does not stay at a steady rate all year round. This is the percentage of people that have registered as seeking employment. Although MIP's are important in terms of household expenditure it is beneficial to show both because an increase in interest rates designed to reduce inflation would have the perverse effect of initially resulting in a rise in inflation. 35The following graph shows these averages. However, the effects are more national than local. This is because businesses find themselves with idle productivity in the face of logging sales.
