Training Program

Mid to senior level officials from SARTTAC and CDOT member countries in Finance Ministries/Departments and Central Banks with relevant experience in budgeting, treasury, cash and/or debt management.

Priority will be given to officials engaged with budgeting, treasury, cash or debt management functions at the central or state government level.

This one-week workshop on Effective Cash Management under Fiscal Stress, offered jointly by the South Asia Regional Training and Technical Assistance Center (SARTTAC) and the IMF Capacity Development Office in Thailand (CDOT), is designed to identify bottlenecks in developing the government cash management function, share international developments and good practice, and discuss their relevance for South and South East Asian countries.  Governments are increasingly being asked to do more with less, constrained as they are with decreasing and uncertain revenues and increasing expenditure to respond to COVID-19 related spending. This workshop will help participants to understand how a multi-pronged approach to cash management can help governments to ensure availability of adequate liquidity to meet government's payment obligations.
