Course Description
This online course, presented by the IMF Institute for Capacity Development and the IMF Fiscal Affairs and Statistics Departments, discusses macroeconomic policy issues and challenges that confront RRCs.
Course Objectives
- Assess how economic performance might differ in RRCs and in other countries in terms, e.g., of growth, inclusive growth, political economy, resource curse, diversification, and Dutch disease.
- Apply simple fiscal rules to determine how much to extract, consume, and save from the sale of natural resource sand modalities for savings, such as a sovereign wealth fund.
- Design a framework with clear objectives and priorities that delivers long-run fiscal sustainability and addresses commodity price volatility, with a supporting role for the public sector on the fiscal regime and government spending.
- Identify appropriate macroeconomic policy responses to commodity price shocks.
- Assess the pros and cons of policies to promote diversity and transparency in the management of natural resources.
