Training Program

Junior and highly motivated officials from central banks and ministries of finance and economy working on macroeconomic analysis, macro-fiscal issues, and macro-modelling.

1 to 5 years of work experience, at a minimum a master's degree in economics or finance, and expectations of continuing their career within those institutions. The training will be in English, hence strong English language skills are a must. Candidates should not have attended the following in-person courses at the Joint Vienna Institute: Financial Programming and Policies, Macroeconomic Diagnostics, Macroeconometric Forecasting and Analysis.

The course aims at providing junior officials with a comprehensive understanding of macroeconomic analysis and linkages, the business cycle, how to diagnose internal and external imbalances, and economic policies to address them. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to develop a strong peer network across the region.
