Training Catalog Session Details

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Create consistent macroeconomic baseline projections on the assumption that policies do not change, while respecting accounting and behavioral links among economic variables.
• Analyze the baseline macroeconomic scenario, to understand economic and financial developments, and diagnose macroeconomic imbalances. 
• Identify economic vulnerabilities and risks in the baseline scenario and articulate how policy measures address them.
• Prepare an adjustment program that reflects the selected policy measures and their macroeconomic impact.
• Negotiate an economic adjustment program with the respective counterparty in a role-playing simulation.

Blended FPP course will be partly delivered virtually via Moodle platform and partly held in-person. 

• In the virtual part of the course, June 30-July 11, which will run for two weeks, participants will self-study the prescribed material and attend live virtual meetings (about two hours long) on every other day. There will be an online mini assessment at the end of every lesson in the virtual part of this course.
• In the in-person part of the course, which will also run for two weeks (but full time), participation will most of their time in hands-on workshops, working together in small groups, to formulate first a baseline macro framework and then prepare and negotiate an economic adjustment program for the case-study country under the guidance of an experienced counselor.
• There will be a one-week break between the two parts of the course to allow for traveling.
