Course Description

This course, presented by the Institute for Capacity Development, complements the Macroeconomic Diagnostics (MDS) course by enhancing participants’ ability to assess fiscal, financial, and external vulnerabilities in an integrated fashion, using several diagnostic tools to capture tail risks.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: Assess risks using fiscal, financial, external, and real sectors’ vulnerability indicators. Describe how vulnerabilities can morph into distress, leading to crises as a result of adverse shocks or a flawed policy mix. Use diagnostic tools (including tools currently employed in IMF surveillance), to track multi-sectoral vulnerabilities and predict indicators of tail risks. Adapt diagnostic tools, (organized as templates of country vulnerability reports), to their country data.
