The subject Analysis of the Macroeconomic Environment is part of the introduction to the fundamentals of macroeconomic analysis. The aim of the course is to provide an insight into the functioning of the economy in the markets for goods and services and in the financial markets. The aim is for the student to acquire a rigorous and up-to-date view of the main problems and perspectives of macroeconomics.
The macroeconomic analysis is emphasized by analyzing the fundamental variables that affect modern economies: sustainable growth of the economy and respect for the environment, inflation and deflation, employment and unemployment, public finances and external balance, as well as the analysis of economic policies, especially demand and supply policies necessary for the stability and development of countries.
