Vulnerability Diagnostics

This two-week course, presented by the IMF’s Institute for Capacity Development, complements the Macroeconomic Diagnostics (MDS) course by strengthening participants’ ability to assess fiscal, financial, and external vulnerabilities in an integrated fashion through the use of several diagnostics tools aimed at capturing tail risks.

It is aimed at officials of all levels in central banks and ministries of finance who are involved in monitoring and assessing vulnerabilities and risks at the country and regional levels. Participants are expected to have an advanced degree in economics or equivalent experience, a basic background in econometrics, and familiarity with the use of software for econometric applications.
