Course Description
This course, presented by the IMF's Monetary and Capital Markets Department, focuses on reshaping cross-border payments in the digital age. The course is designed to be interactive by relying on a combination of lectures, case study simulations, and panel discussions. Lectures first focus on an overview of the state-of-the-art knowledge on how innovative digital means of payments (central bank digital currencies and stablecoins) could be used for international transactions. The course then analyzes the benefits (e.g. lower frictions and in the end costs, broader access to international payments) and risks for the economies, focusing on implications for monetary policy, financial stability, capital flows and the international monetary system. Potential policy responses are then discussed. Participants, are then encouraged to apply this basic understanding of cross-border payments in hypothetical case studies and panel discussions. (Note: The course may be subject to further changes to accommodate remote delivery).
