The voice of banking and payments in Ireland
BusinessEducation.ie is an online resource for Leaving Cert Business, Economics and Accounting students and teachers. Developed by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) in conjunction with the Business Studies Teachers’ Association of Ireland (BSTAI) the site provides a number of learning resources for use by teachers and students in the classroom or at home. These resources have been identified by the BSTAI as tools which can provide valuable support in teaching and learning the senior cycle business subjects. The content on the site is written and assessed by experienced teachers with the assistance of BPFI’s Economist and will be regularly updated with new material each school term.
European Money Week is an annual initiative promoting financial education across Europe. The week is organised by national banking associations across Europe, including Banking & Payments Federation Ireland, under the coordination of the European Banking Federation.
Economic indicators provide an overview of some of the key economic developments in the Irish economy. By being familiar with these indicators, and knowing the direction in which they are going, you will be better able to understand what is going on in the economy around you.
In this section we cover key topics from Leaving Cert Business and Economics to help you achieve the best at your exam. Topics are introduced and supported by professionally worked out questions and answers.
