Regional Heats Results
Each team that participated in the regional heats made a presentation to a panel of Bank of England judges. The judges' task was to assess each team's understanding of the economy and monetary policy, the strength and style of their presentation, the arguments made in support of their interest rate decision, and their response to judges' questions.There were no right or wrong answers. Each team was judged on the merits of the case presented.
