Target 2.0 Competition - The Bank of England and The Times have launched the 2005-2006 “Target Two Point Zero Interest Rate Challenge”, a competition for schools and colleges. Target 2.0 gives teams of students aged between 16 and 18 the chance to take on the role of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, assess economic conditions and the outlook for inflation and tell panels of judges what interest rate they would set to achieve the Government's inflation target of 2.0 per cent.
The Trent team consisted of 5 Year 13 Economics students – Jake Fox, Harriette Newcombe, Sarah Hammond, Jon Brown and Jon Heard. Their regional heat was on November 28 th 2005, where they presented their decision on the base rate to the panel of judges.
