Monetary Economics and Financial Stability Training Course
Introduction
Monetary Economics and Financial Stability Training Course is designed to build practical expertise in monetary policy, central banking, inflation management, financial regulation, macroeconomic analysis, and systemic risk assessment. The course examines how money, interest rates, exchange rates, credit markets, banking systems, and financial institutions interact to influence economic growth and financial stability. Participants will develop practical capabilities in monetary policy transmission, inflation targeting, liquidity management, macroprudential policy, financial risk assessment, and economic forecasting while examining emerging issues such as digital currencies, fintech, artificial intelligence in financial markets, and climate-related financial risks.
The programme provides an applied understanding of how central banks, financial regulators, commercial banks, governments, international financial institutions, and corporations respond to economic and financial shocks.

The training strengthens evidence-based decision-making and equips professionals with analytical frameworks for promoting price stability, resilient financial systems, sustainable economic growth, and effective monetary and macroprudential policy.
