noun

Explanation

You can tell a passage of time has come to an end by looking at the economy. The value of your stocks will have changed, your money will be worth less than before thanks to inflation, and (hopefully) the number in your bank account will be a little bit bigger. Yup, nothing's quite so affected by the passage of time as the economy and your finances are.

Reading

けいざい

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well. The さい changes to ざい, though, so watch out for that.
