Hi, It would be great to get people contributing their thoughts on what might make a hot topic. the more minds that get involved the better. SA5 usually stays away from issues that impact investment consulting (which is more SA6), but can tackle almost anything else. A quick starter list:
the tumbling oil price and its effect on an economy, leading to government and central bank compensating action
volatile currencies (rouble?) and the effect on economies and markets
central clearing and its effect on credit risk/trading / capital requirement
election uncertainty and volatility and the effect on planned investment by companies and the effect on markets
Euro QE (again) - seems to have been a hot topic for years now.
Euro default and possible exit seems to be a bit too recent to make it into exams this year
deflation and its effect on economies and government response.
Any others?? ...
