Target 2.0 at Durham School

This is a competition sponsored jointly by The Times newspaper and The Bank of England. It is aimed at pupils in Year 13 who are studying Economics. The target mentioned in the title is the desired rate of inflation and the role of the pupils is to decide how to control the interest rate in order to hit that target. The pupils present their strategy (in the form of a 20-minute seminar) to a panel from the Bank of England. The competition is a national one and the winners of the regional heats then go on to a final held in London. A first prize of £10,000 is awarded for the best presentation.
