Training Program

Junior officials who have recently joined the Reserve Bank of India with adequate background in quantitative methods and interested in understanding and analyzing the conduct of macroeconomic and financial sector policies.

Participants are expected to have an advanced degree in economics or equivalent experience and be comfortable using Microsoft Excel.

This course, presented by the IMF Institute for Capacity Development, is designed to strengthen participants' ability to comprehensively assess a country's macroeconomic situation, including the current state of the economy; the stance of fiscal and monetary policy; financial stability; exchange rate misalignments; vulnerabilities in the different sectors; and the medium-term outlook, especially the sustainability of public and external debt. The course emphasizes practical tools for use in day-to-day macroeconomic analysis and relies on case studies relevant to the region to illustrate how these tools are applied and how they can contribute to the policymaking process.
