Training Program

Junior and highly motivated officials from central banks and ministries of finance and economy working on macroeconomic analysis, macro-fiscal issues, and macro-modelling, with 1 to 5 years of work experience, at a minimum a master's degree in economics or finance, and expectations of continuing their career within those institutions.

The training will be in English, hence strong English language skills are a must. Candidates should not have attended the following in-person courses at the Joint Vienna Institute: Financial Programming and Policies, Macroeconomic Diagnostics, Macroeconometric Forecasting and Analysis.

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. It covers the principal features of the four main macroeconomic sectors (real, fiscal, external, and monetary) and their interlinkages, highlighting both accounting and behavioral relationships and using data from a country case study.
