This course aims at building capacity in developing and implementing a sound medium-term debt management strategy (MTDS). Officials will be trained on the joint IMF-World Bank MTDS framework, which is useful for illustrating government cost and risk tradeoffs associated with different debt management strategies and managing the risk exposure embedded in a debt portfolio, in particular, the potential variation in debt servicing costs and its budgetary impact. Officials will analyze cost-risk trade-offs of alternative debt management strategies, utilizing the MTDS analytical tool (MTDS AT) developed by the IMF and World Bank, taking into account the composition of the debt portfolio, macroeconomic indicators, market conditions, potential sources of financing, and the linkages with the broader medium-term macroeconomic framework. The course format includes lectures and hands-on exercises that involve extensive work with country data.
