Syllabus: The aim of the subject is to provide a grounding in the fundamental concepts of economics as they affect the operation of insurance and other financial systems, both from the point of view of individuals and their requirements for financial security, and from the point of view of financial institutions and their ability to provide products that meet the customer needs. It will also provide a sufficient understanding of macroeconomics to enable the future actuary to interpret the economic environment and to make informed judgements as to suitable assumptions to make regarding future inflation, returns on investment, stock market behaviour, exchange rates and economic growth.
