National Financial Accounts
“Go beyond the headlines—learn to read the numbers that drive crises, policies, and the global economy.”
Why did no one see the 2008 financial crisis coming—and could we miss the next one? Behind every headline on debt, trade, or inflation lies a deeper story in the numbers. This course will help you uncover that story.
Over six weeks, you’ll explore how households, firms, governments, and the rest of the world connect through financial accounts, balance sheets, and trade flows. We’ll examine government finances, global imbalances, and the lessons of past crises, from 2007–2009 to COVID-19. Along the way, you’ll learn to read and use key institutional reports from the IMF, ECB, BIS, OECD and others.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to read financial accounts critically, connect them to economic thinking, and engage with the debates shaping our future. Whether you’re analysing government budgets, trade balances, or stability reports, you’ll be equipped with the tools to go beyond the headlines—and maybe even challenge them.
