Understanding the Economy, Wednesday 7 March
How much does the audience understand about the economy?
Do we have to explain every single time the ECB, BIS, EIB, ESM, GDP, CPI, OECD, IMF alphabet soup which inevitably sustains business/economy stories?
Do you know your Volcker rule from your offside rule? More to the point, does the audience?
And what is a 'dead cat bounce'?

Mary Hockaday, head of Newsroom
Jon Zilkha, editor, BBC economics and business centre
Professor Steve Schifferes, director, financial journalism MA, City University.
