An Economics HL Commentary done by me. Article is also attached (South Korean Won tumbling and its effect on neighbouring countries).
I believe I got a high 6 on the Commentary.

So these are the two commentaries I worked most on. One is on Preferential Trade Areas (PTAs) between Mercosur and Sacu, so Module 4 on International Economics. The second one is based on Module 5 Developmental Economics and it concerns infrastructural development with the Bandra-Worli sealink (bridge) in Mumbai, India.
Both of there were predicted 6s by my teacher, but the IB bumped all our grades up (yeah, our teacher was that much of a hard ass). So after the IB moderation I had 7s in both and ended with a 7 overall.
Anyway, I know my Economics teacher is using these two as samples for his classes after I graduated, so I thought I'd put them up here too.
Hope they prove to be useful to you guys!
