1 IIF GLOBAL SEMINAR MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING WITH A FOCUS ON MENA November 12-14, 2018 Dubai, UAE IN COOPERATION
2 COURSE DESCRIPTION IIF GLOBAL SEMINAR Macroeconomic Analysis and Forecasting with a Focus on MENA This three day program is a condensed and shorter version of the following three courses offered by the IMF: (1) Financial Programming and Policies; (2) Macroeconomic Diagnostics; and (3) Macroeconomic Forecasting. Class size will be kept small and the content is tailored to fit participants interests. The program will explore core macroeconomic ideas that provide consistent forecasting techniques for the real, fiscal, monetary, and external sectors, and how they relate to each other. For each sector, the course presents the accounting framework, interpretations of variables and indicators from these accounts, and basic analysis of the accounts. The program also includes a series of workshops in which participants, under the guidance of counselors, are divided into groups, to implement the diagnostic and analytical tools presented in the lectures and to develop consistent forecasts of key macroeconomic indicators of a country. An impressive group of expert industry practitioners, including former IMF staff members, and chief economists with more than 25 years of experience will share their insights with participants. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Review the principal features of the different accounts used in macroeconomic analysis, and the interrelations among these accounts. Create consistent two-year economic projections. Estimate and analyze potential output, identify the expenditure composition of growth, assess fiscal policy, and public and external debt sustainability. Identify and appraise the economic vulnerabilities in MENA economies. Examine different techniques on how to forecast oil prices Analyze economic and financial developments of a case study country using a hands-on, Excel-based framework. * Participants should plan to bring their own laptops.
