Course overview
The Financial Programming and Policies, Part 2: Program Design certification course from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an intermediate study financially supported by the Government of Japan in the Economics and Finance field. The programme focuses on macroeconomic policy analysis and forecasting macroeconomic accounts. It teaches you to use real economic data and design an economic and financial programme.
In the Financial Programming and Policies, Part 2: Program Design course, the financial programming exercise replicates the country surveillance and program work routinely done by the desk economists at the IMF. In the first part of the curriculum, you will study the economic outlook of the case study country. The syllabus allows you to develop a set of projections for the chief macroeconomic sectors, including external, real, monetary, and government of the country’s economy, without a change in policies.
Moreover, the self-paced Financial Programming and Policies, Part 2: Program Design syllabus also highlights how macroeconomic policies can reduce macroeconomic imbalances and address poor performance. A faculty comprising experts from the IMF will teach you the course. The training requires you to know or complete the Financial Programming and Policies, Part 1.
