As independent an economic consultant, you are hired by a consultancy firm to provide an

assessment of:

a) the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the country’s economy; and

b) the key policy responses by the government and central bank to the crisis.

In doing so, you will deliver a structured Impact Report, which includes the following illustrative

features:

? Up to three (3) figures (diagrams, graphs, or tables) in total. Here, you can use a mixture of

diagrams, graphs and tables provided the total number is no more than 3. That is, you can

use up to 2 figures additional to the AD-AS diagram required in Section 1(b).

? You can include more than one variable in a graph or table.

? You must produce your own figures, rather than cut and paste from other sources.

? You can use direct quotes provided the total number of quoted words sums to 20 words or

less in the whole of the report. This rule is intended to prevent students from over relying on

direct quotes without critically analysing the content of the source.
