Training

The IMF provides training through its courses and seminars at headquarters and its sponsorship of the Joint Vienna Institute. The training programs are designed to meet the current and emerging needs of the Fund's member countries. To this end, the core program includes basic, intermediate, and advanced courses on financial programming and policies and macroeconomic management, balance of payments statistics, monetary and exchange operations, national accounts and government statistics, etc.

The basic objective of the programs is to train officials of the Fund's member countries. The training is geared toward raising the quality of economic policy making in the countries, and enhancing the mutual understanding of issues between country officials and IMF staff.

The IMF Regional Office for Romania and Bulgaria is also providing in-country training on specific topics related to the regular discussions on policies. In July 2007, Messrs. Costas Christou and Juan Jose Fernandez Ansola lectured in a 2-day seminar organized in the Bucharest office on fiscal policy issues and macroeconomic policy coordination.
