Training Program

Ideally the candidates should be fiscal management experts responsible for macro-economic projections and broader fiscal management; officials directly involved in preparation of country debt sustainability analysis; officials involved in lending/aid decisions (loan officers, credit risk analysts).

Participants should have a degree in economics or finance, and should have reasonably fluency in French. Experience with debt sustainability analysis, or credit risk analysis would be extremely useful.

The course would present an overview of the tools available to assist with debt sustainability analysis in French-speaking African low-income countries. This workshop will be conducted via Zoom platform and a reliable broadband is required. A device with either the Zoom desktop application or a Google Chrome web browser are essential. We recommend using a computer to fully benefit from the lectures and exercises of this course.
