Course Structure and Standard Syllabus Course Area: Financial Sector Policies Course Title: Financial Markets and Instruments (FMI) Objectives: This two-week course aims at providing participant with the foundation of financial instruments beyond the standard treatment of bonds and equity that are covered in our basics course. After a short review, the course takes on forwards, futures, swaps and options and moves toward combinations of these building block instruments with practical applications. Some time is devoted to relevant policy implications, notably related to the regulation of such markets, though a course devoted to financial policies is recommended for those interested in more detail. Lectures introduce the underlying theory, and workshops and case studies allow the participants to apply the techniques introduced and to test their understanding of how and why some strategies and misuse of these instruments can lead to large losses and financial instability. Participants will prepare final presentations on a set of predetermined current financial market issues.

Older cases will be upgraded to more recent examples where relevant data can be obtained. Depth of material will depend on regional absorptive capacity, satisfaction of prerequisites, and current applicable issues. A typical 2-week course corresponds to 57 contact hours with participants (including the opening and closing sessions). This syllabus represents a total of 30 hours of teaching, and 19.5 hours of workshops. The difference will be the time allocated to the preparation and delivery of participants presentations. Prerequisites The course is targeted to (junior to senior) officials working in Ministries of Finance and Central Banks. Participants should have an advanced degree in economics or equivalent experience. Participants are strongly encouraged to do the e-learning module on Financial Market Analysis (FMAx) prior to the start of the course. Performance Evaluation: Two multiple-choice tests will be given, one at the beginning and one at the end of the course. Performance in these tests will be recorded in participants evaluations.
