Regarding  general  aw areness  and  understanding  of  economic and financial matters, w e need to appreciate that, generally, economies are characterised by business cycles of varying lengths and intensity, driven by various factors.
6  While, there is no time to go into details, the message I am relaying is that the various macroeconomic policies are programmed  to  respond  to  such  cycles. Therefore,  economic aw areness entails understanding the state of the economy, the current cycle, the direction or momentum, and, therefore, anticipate policy direction.
