    • Analyze the baseline macroeconomic scenario, to understand economic and financial developments, and diagnose macroeconomic imbalances.  
    • Identify economic vulnerabilities and risks in the baseline scenario and articulate how policy measures address them. 
    • Prepare an adjustment scenario that reflects the policy measures and their macroeconomic impact. 
    • Identify further policy goals and measures that will be incorporated into a medium-term framework.
