-Scacity, economics problems
-Division of labour
-function of money
-Producer surplus
-DD and SS ( causes to shift)
-Market failure ( merit, demerit and public : externalities )
- Buffer stock scheme
-Absolute advantage ( may in sessay )
-Exchange rate
-Deflation ( more popular than inflation)
-Deficit ( BOP, TOT,...)
-Custom union and free trade
-Knowledge of some trading blocs

I would add PPC, Cost Benefit analysis, different ways the govt intervenes - price controls, price stabilistion, taxation, direct provision of goods and services and the different elasticities to that list.
