๐ฆ Economics Students Welcome Bank of England Chief Economist
An exciting and informative opportunity for our Year 12 and 13 Economics students on 20th October as they welcomed Huw Pill, Chief Economist at the Bank of England, as part of his regional tour of the North East. Huw was accompanied by Mauricio Armellini, the Bank of Englandโs Agent for the North East.
Huw spoke to students about the role of the Bank of England, monetary policy and how interest rates are set, bringing their Economics studies to life with a real-world perspective. ๐๐ท
Students also had the opportunity to take part in a Q&A session, asking questions and hearing directly from those working at the heart of UK economic policy.
A fantastic experience for our students and a great way to see Economics in action! ๐
