Capital Flow Management and Financial Resilience: A Comprehensive Training Course

Introduction

Capital flows are a double-edged sword for emerging markets and developing economies, offering significant benefits for investment and growth while also posing substantial risks to financial stability. This training course is designed to provide policymakers and analysts with a deep and practical understanding of how to manage these flows and build financial resilience. Participants will explore the drivers of capital flows, the channels through which they affect domestic economies, and the policy toolkit available to mitigate their associated risks.

The program also focuses on the crucial link between capital flow management and broader financial resilience. We will examine how a country's macroeconomic policy, regulatory framework, and institutional strength can help to buffer against the volatility of international capital. By combining cutting-edge economic theory with real-world case studies, this course will equip participants with the skills necessary to design and implement effective strategies that harness the benefits of capital flows while minimizing their potential for disruption.
