IMF Conference Co-hosted by Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, Monetary and Capital Markets Department, and Bank Indonesia
Bali, Indonesia

The course was focused on issues in modernizing monetary policy frameworks in frontier economies, where financial markets are less developed and the central bank faces other constraints. Also the course reviewed the recent analytical work done by MCM on two-pillar monetary frameworks during transition—monetary targets and inflation targets—and took stock of country experiences in this regard.
