### Course Description
- The course introduces participants to the underlying concepts, definitions, and methodology for the compilation of Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs).
- FSIs were developed by the IMF in the late 1990 s and currently, more than 140 countries compile and report FSIs to the IMF.
- FSIs are used to monitor the soundness of the financial system from a macroprudential perspective and are used by IMF staff in financial stability analysis and surveillance.
- Topics covered include:
  - The history of the FSIs and their application in surveillance and macroprudential analysis.
  - The conceptual framework for the FSIs.
  - The data collection process for FSI compilation and its underlying aggregation and consolidation methodologies.
  - The application of core and additional FSIs in macroprudential analysis.
- An important reference throughout the course is the Financial Soundness Indicators Compilation Guide revised in 2019; the 2019 FSIs Guide is described as the ultimate authority on FSI concepts and methods and is the foundation of the course.

### Course Objectives
- Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
  - Define the key concepts of the FSIs and their application in surveillance and macroprudential analysis.
  - Define the conceptual framework including application of the regulatory capital, leverage and liquidity concepts used in FSI compilation.
  - Describe the data preparation process for FSI compilation, and apply the recommended aggregation and consolidation methodologies.
  - Specify each of the Core and Additional FSIs for deposit-takers and explain the application of each in macroprudential analysis.
  - Identify the source data and specify the FSIs for non-deposit takers, and explain their application in macroprudential analysis.
