Inflation in Developing and Frontier Markets Strategic Training Course
Introduction
The Inflation in Developing and Frontier Markets Strategic Training Course provides an in-depth analysis of the unique inflationary challenges and dynamics faced by low- and middle-income economies. Unlike advanced economies, developing and frontier markets often experience heightened vulnerability to external shocks, exchange rate fluctuations, commodity price volatility, and structural rigidities in fiscal and monetary systems. This course unpacks how inflation manifests in these environments, the risks it poses to growth and stability, and the policies required to build resilience.
Through practical insights, global case studies, and applied economic tools, participants will examine inflation transmission channels, policy trade-offs, and institutional constraints that shape macroeconomic outcomes in these markets. The course equips professionals with critical skills to forecast, analyze, and respond to inflationary pressures while maintaining sustainable development and inclusive growth.
