My experience in the course

Imagen
In our training process as economists, an important tool is to learn and improve our language skills in foreign languages, English is the main language and the most used in scientific documents, university courses and in the daily life of the economy. In our two previous courses, in my opinion, we tried to improve our grammar and studied the basic structure of the language, however, in this course (English #3), we tried to improve and learn more specific concepts in the areas of economics, we tried identify some useful topics about our career and future jobs. The most important ideas that I can identify from the course is the possibility of expanding our vocabulary in finance, that is very important in jobs, courses and others.

 Hyperinflation in the world In the economic world, an important issue is inflation because it can affect the entire sector of the economy of a country or region. Inflation is a natural process in the economy caused by many reasons, for example demand or supply side shocks. In many countries, those in charge of setting inflation at reasonable levels are the central banks. But there are some important examples that when prices rise exponentially it is impossible for entities in a country to maintain inflation levels. When a country experiences exponential growth in the overall prices of its economy, it is called hyperinflation. Some important examples are Zimbabwe, South Sudan and Venezuela. In this work we focus on Venezuela, hyperinflation in this country began at the end of 2017, according to some important experts the main reasons were the legacy of some governments, for example the Chávez government, the dependence on the international price of oil.

The opportunity to participate in a conference with a person who works on world bank or important organizations are really limited.

  Investing in bods According to MARKETS INSIDER   I would choose, Frontier Communications Corp. In this case since it has a high return 63.33%.I am interested in it since it is a bond which can be traded in the over-the-counter market because it mature in 2025, I chose it among various companies with high levels of performance, since the frontier company has existed since the 30s, that is, the reliability of being a robust company. My other two options are us treasury bonds, first   U.S. Rates 6 Months , because I would like to have money in a near period of time, and the second one is U.S. Rates 5 Years . In this case I would like, for the opposite reason of the previous one, to have a future income, plus an interest gain. In addition, given that the period is relatively long, there is the possibility that you can sell it in the over-the-counter market. It is important to note that the three types of bonds combine terms, in addition to the fact that one is from a private e
