Across the United Kingdom later in November, over a thousand school and college students will show why the economy receives all the attention it does. The science of economics will come alive when teams compete in the initial round - the regional heats - of the seventh annual Bank of England/Times Interest Rate Challenge. The challenge for the students’ teams is to decide what the UK’s official interest rate - The Bank Rate - should be to keep inflation low and stable.
