What?
Monthly consists of two parts: comments on current situation in Poland and global economy as well as members’ articles.
We want to familiarize student with macroeconomic data. We focus on interpretation. In our analysis we always raise the question: “Why?”, eg why current account increases/decreases from previous period, why inflation remains on upward/downward trend in the recent months etc. We finish by short forecast with a question :”What will happen in the nearest future?”. In projects in our community we are looking for synergy. We willingly use the reports from the Economic Forecasting team. We are pleased to be analytical support for members of the Shadow Cabinet Monetary Policy Council.
How?
In the MME we analyse the following sections::
- GDP
- Industrial productionand PMI
- Retail sales

- Inflation
- Monetary policy
- Current account

Every member is responsible forone section. We send comments to our tutor, Chief Economist from SocieteGenerale, to check. When the amendments have been made we publish a new issue of MME and distribute it on our university.
Our goals?
The main idea of SKN FM is „Poland to be a good and wise country”. Working for MME we also fulfill this mission by:
1) External development
We share our knowledge and experience with students.We focus student’s attention on current macroeconomic data by publishing comments on paper, and on the internet (on our website and Facebook). We plan to expand beyond the SGH
2) Internal development
Writing to MME lets us try performing duties of an analysts/economists working on financial sector. We also learn how to form the professional economic texts. Moreover we are always up to date with all the economic data and have an opportunity to attend coaching sessions performed by our tutor.
