This document discusses macroeconomic performance and business performance. It covers key macroeconomic indicators like the business cycle, unemployment, and inflation. The business cycle consists of recessions and booms that impact business performance indicators such as profits, share prices, dividends, investment, and cash flow. Unemployment rates are also impacted by the business cycle and come in different types. High unemployment negatively impacts GDP. Inflation is measured using the consumer price index and rising inflation can be problematic for economies.
