nope
macroeconomics is very broad
could be anything about interest rates, growth, inflation terms of trade...ANYTHING!
usually with macro if something changes with interest rates it can be attributed to something else wtih macro...eg inflation....growth etc

OK.

Macroeconomics- inflation, unemployment, interest rates.

Inflation recently running about 3.5% but is being pressured by increases in fuel prices etc.

Unemployment currently at historic lows - 4% assisting by mining boom.

Interest rates have been increased recently (7.25% Reserve Bank rate) by the government trying to slow the economy and fight inflation.

Good luck!

Just read the business section of any newspaper.

Macro...global inflation currently poses the greatest risk to growth. Undersupply and overdemand of food. High energy costs. Credit tightness. Australia needing to expand capacity but kerb inflation in an inflationary environment.

Plenty of stuff happening and as with any eco exam or report I have ever written, you could go on forever!! good luck with it
