Economics Prjoect Halft-Term homework

Over half-term you need to find one article for the following countries that details some form of economic growth or decline:

• China
• Brazil
• India
• Greece

This measurement of growth or decline can include any of the measurements that you should have covered in detail within your projects, such as unemployment figures, Inflation, Trade (Imports & Exports) and of course overall GDP.

Once you have the article you then need to write a brief section in which you analyse why you think this growth or decline has occurred.
