Participants should have attended the macroeconomics module offered at the Foundation Course for officer trainees comprising the entry cohort into the Indian civil service.

This course, presented by the IMF Institute for Capacity Development, is designed to strengthen participants' ability to assess a country's macroeconomic situation, including the current state of the economy; the stance of fiscal and monetary policy; financial stability; exchange rate misalignments; vulnerabilities in the different sectors; and the medium-term outlook, especially the sustainability of public and external debt. The course relies on a case study of India to illustrate India's current macroeconomic challenges and to demonstrate practical tools for use in day-to-day macroeconomic analysis and policymaking.
