Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: Analyze economic and financial developments of a country in the region using historical data and a hands-on, Excel-based framework. Create consistent one-year macroeconomic projections on the assumption that policies do not change (i.e. the baseline scenario). Identify economic vulnerabilities and risks in a baseline scenario and policy measures to address them. Prepare an adjustment scenario that reflects the policy measures and their macroeconomic impact. Identify further policy goals and measures beyond the one-year horizon that will be incorporated into a medium-term framework.
