Training
IMF Institute Training at IMF's Middle East Center for Economics and Finance (CEF), Kuwait City, Kuwait
The International Monetary Fund's Middle East Center for Economics and Finance (CEF) is an IMF regional training center, hosted and funded by the State of Kuwait since 2011. The Center provides hands-on policy-oriented training in economics and finance to the 22 member countries of the Arab League. In doing so, it collaborates with the IMF¿s Capacity Development Departments (CDDs), the Middle East Regional Technical Assistance Center (METAC), and external partners, including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization. CEF also partners with bilateral and multilateral partners as well as country authorities from across the Arab countries. The Center covers the diverse base of Arab League countries resource-rich oil exporters, middle-income and emerging economies, low-income countries, and fragile states. Courses are offered in Arabic or English (generally with interpretation into Arabic). The Center also organizes conferences and seminars to discuss cutting-edge and emerging policy topics of relevance to countries in the region.
Selection Process:
Participation in courses is mainly by application. For courses open only by invitation candidates are nominated by government agencies upon receipt of an invitation letter from the CEF Director.
Self-Financed Policy:
Candidates from international agencies and advanced regional countries who apply to attend IMF training events, if accepted, will be considered self-financed. Local staff in IMF Resident Representative offices selected to train at regional training centers and programs would also be self-financed. However, they are eligible to attend training at HQ as regular participants. Attending as self-financed provides the same access to course content and activities, but all associated costs (accommodation, travel, and per diem) need to be covered by the sponsoring institution.
