Strategic Risk and Policy Implication Analysis Training Course

Introduction
As central banks and financial institutions navigate increasingly complex geopolitical, economic, and technological landscapes, understanding and managing strategic risks has become critical to long-term policy effectiveness and institutional resilience. The Strategic Risk and Policy Implication Analysis Training Course is designed to equip decision-makers and analysts with the skills to identify, assess, and respond to high-impact strategic risks while evaluating their implications for policy and regulatory frameworks. The course emphasizes the role of strategic foresight, early warning systems, and scenario planning in enabling informed and agile policy responses.

Conducted over five in-depth days, this training program bridges risk intelligence with policy analysis, helping institutions align their strategic goals with dynamic risk environments. Participants will explore tools for macro-financial risk assessment, horizon scanning, and the integration of strategic risks into policy design and institutional strategy. Practical exercises, global case studies, and interactive sessions will support the development of actionable insights for central banks, ministries, regulators, and policy advisory bodies facing complex strategic decisions.
