INTRODUCTION

Monetary policy is one of the most important tools that central banks use to manage economic stability, control inflation, and influence economic growth. This Monetary Policy Implementation training course is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of how central banks design, implement, and monitor monetary policy.

Through this course, participants will explore the strategic goals of monetary policy, the role of central bank instruments (like open market operations and interest rate setting), and the operational frameworks necessary to achieve policy objectives. Special attention will be given to real-world case studies and the current global monetary policy environment, including the challenges posed by financial crises, inflation, and economic uncertainty.
