The Japan-IMF Scholarship Program for Asia (JISPA), a program for young policymakers from Asia-Pacific economies to pursue graduate degrees in Japan, turns 30 years old in 2023. Starting with a non-degree graduate diploma course in 1993, it now offers full-fledged scholarships for master’s and Ph.D. students majoring in macroeconomics in Japan. With more than 950 scholarship recipients from 24 countries, many of whom now hold senior public positions, it has built a strong network of economic policymakers in the region and built a foundation for regional collaboration to safeguard financial stability. JISPA could not have met this milestone without unwavering support from economic agencies in the region, partner universities in Japan and our donor, the Government of Japan. Let’s celebrate its 30th anniversary together. “Happy anniversary, JISPA family!"
