Pandemic Recovery and Inflation Dynamics Training Course

Introduction

The Pandemic Recovery and Inflation Dynamics Training Course provides a comprehensive understanding of how global pandemics reshape economic structures, fiscal balances, and price stability. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how large-scale disruptions to supply chains, labor markets, and government spending can trigger inflationary pressures with lasting implications. As economies transition from crisis management to sustainable recovery, policymakers and financial experts face the challenge of balancing growth objectives with inflation control.

This course examines the interplay between post-pandemic recovery policies and inflation dynamics, highlighting lessons learned from recent global experiences. Participants will explore the impact of fiscal stimulus, monetary easing, disrupted trade, and evolving consumption patterns on inflation. By combining theory, empirical evidence, and case studies, the program equips decision-makers with tools to design recovery strategies that maintain macroeconomic stability while fostering resilience.
