Comment on the results you achieved in each month. (Month 1 is done for you by way of example)
Round 1 / Month 1
Inflation = -1 has decreased and it is lower than recommended level. Unemployment = -1 = this means that unemployment has decreased in the
economy. The score shows that unemployment is lower
than the recommended level.
GDP = 1 = there has been a small level of growth in GDP
Debt = 1 = National debt has accumulated but it is still at a low and
acceptable level.
