Course Description
This course, presented by the Institute for Capacity Development, explains how to diagnose macroeconomic imbalances and correct them through a coordinated set of adjustment policies.

- Analyze the baseline macroeconomic scenario, to understand economic and financial developments, and diagnose macroeconomic imbalances.

- Prepare an adjustment scenario that reflects the policy measures and their macroeconomic impact.
