explain the main macroeconomic objectives that economists use to assess theperformance of an economy
1. Present a broader definition of macroeconomics and its relationship with the level of production, unemployment and inflation in a country. 2. Integrate in your writing what we understand by main economic indicators, coincident economic indicators and lagging economic indicators, and their relationship with the expression presented. 3. In your explanation of the relationship of the aforementioned indicators with macroeconomics, present examples, such as the impact of a pandemic or an atmospheric phenomenon on the economy of a country.

The long run macroeconomic performance of an economy can be reflectedfrom the changes of her major macroeconomic indicators. With appropriateinterpretations of the changes to these indicators, one can identify the inherentstructural features of an economy, and hence, identify her strengths andweaknesses. In about 250 words, write a short essay on ONE economy from the list below:i. Singapore;ii. The United Kingdom;iii. The United States.In your essay, describe the changes of major macroeconomic indicators fromthe last decade. Using them to illustrate major structural features of the choseneconomy. Based on the above, identify ONE inherent problem implied bythese structural features that might limit her macroeconomic performance inthe long run. Suggest ONE practical government policy in dealing with thisinherent problem.
