Summary

This quantitative model for Macrofinancial Policy Analysis for the WAEMU was developed to deepen the Fund’s engagement in macrofinancial surveillance in the region. By analyzing unobserved credit cycle dynamics and risks, and emphasizing macrofinancial linkages, the model helps assess the consistency between real and credit cycles, build alternative scenarios, offers medium-term macroeconomic projections, and support macrofinancial policy analysis.
