Emerging Markets and Developing Economy Challenges: A Comprehensive Training Course

Introduction

Emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) are a diverse group of nations that play an increasingly vital role in the global economy. This training course is designed to provide policymakers and analysts with a deep and practical understanding of the unique challenges these economies face, from managing volatile capital flows and commodity price shocks to navigating rapid urbanization and technological change. Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of the macroeconomic, financial, and institutional vulnerabilities that can hinder sustainable development and stability.

The program focuses on the policy toolkit available to address these challenges, including the use of monetary, fiscal, and macroprudential policies in a developing country context.
