Monetary Policy Implementation - Virtual

MPIv

TARGET GROUP | (i) Junior to mid-level central bank officials working in monetary policy operations; and (ii) officials from central banks or ministries of finance/economy whose responsibilities require, or who have a strong interest in acquiring, a thorough understanding of monetary policy implementation.

DESCRIPTION | The implementation of monetary policy requires both well-defined goals and a consistent set of policy instruments to achieve them. This one-week course will place central banks’ monetary policy operations in the context of the broader monetary policy strategy.

Finally, the course will cover specific aspects of monetary policy implementation: liquidity analysis, the operational design of conventional and unconventional monetary policy instruments, the role of foreign exchange interventions, and the consistency of operational frameworks.
