The exam for CT7: Business Economics
 

CT7: Business Economics is based on the relevant syllabus and Core Reading. The textbook used for the Core Reading (Economics for Business by John Sloman, Kevin Hinde and Dean Garratt (Fifth Edition, 2010) along with the ActEd course material is the reading.

We understand that student studying for CT7 are having difficulty in obtaining Economics for Business by John Sloman (Fifth Edition) from the market. Institute has some copies in the library but that is not sufficient for meeting demand of all the students.

In view of this, we had approached Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and they have agreed to help IAI student members on this.

The book is now available as an online eBook, free of charge, from the Athens Portal (a portal that gives access to a wide range of frequently updated academic resources) on the Actuarial Profession’s website. This means that students can read the book online and download sections, although they cannot download the complete book.

Students can find more information on the online resources page of the website:

Students will need an account to log in to the Athens Portal. They should request an account from libraries@actuaries.org.uk by providing name and IAI Membership No. so that your request is dealt with quicker.

This account will be normally set up on the same day.
