This course, presented by the IMF Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) and South Asia Regional Training and Technical Assistance Center (SARTTAC), provides perspectives on the key components of a country's economy from a macroeconomic perspective, their inter-linkages, and the role of fiscal, and debt policy in ensuring a stable macroeconomic environment, and sustained, inclusive growth.
