Having a firm grasp of the global economy is a must for anyone working in finance, not to mention anyone who wants to stay up to date on world news. But it can be difficult to keep up. All the economic jargon aside, every country has their own inflation rates and currencies, so keeping track of them all and what every change in the market means is no easy feat.
Whether you're looking for a quick brush-up on the subject, or you're looking to learn something new, have a look at an online course called "Bloomberg Market Concepts: Economic Indicators & Currencies."
If you're going to take a class on mastering global economics, you might as well learn from the best, which makes this course all the more attractive. Not only is Bloomberg a leading source for financial news, but their program, Bloomberg Market Concepts (or BMC), breaks down complex concepts in a way that's easy to understand.
In BMC's class, you'll learn everything from monitoring gross domestic product (GDP) to currency risk. This course refers a lot to the brand's software, Bloomberg Terminal, so it's good to have open if you have access to the program, but not mandatory. And not to worry if you haven't taken an economics class since high school — this course has no prerequisites, so it's suitable for even beginners.
The $50 cost for lifetime access to the course is a small fee to pay for practical information you can revisit for years to come.
Bloomberg Market Concepts: Economic Indicators & Currencies, $50, available at Udemy.
