Course Description
This course, presented by the Institute for Capacity Development, explains how to diagnose macroeconomic imbalances and correct them through a coordinated set of adjustment policies.

Course Objectives

- 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 scenario that reflects the policy measures and their macroeconomic impact.
- Identify further policy goals and measures that will be incorporated into a medium-term framework.
