Officer trainees comprising the incoming cohort of the Indian Administrative Service.

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

This course, presented by the IMF Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) and South Asia Regional Training and Technical Assistance Center (SARTTAC), provides perspectives on the key components of a country's economy from a macroeconomic perspective, their inter-linkages, and the role of monetary, fiscal, and debt policy in ensuring a stable macroeconomic environment, external competitiveness, and sustained, inclusive growth. The course relies on a case study of India to illustrate its current macroeconomic challenges and to demonstrate practical tools for use in day-to-day macroeconomic analysis and policymaking.
