During October 2025, the Training and Capacity Building Institute at the Arab Monetary Fund organized a series of specialized training programs, courses, and workshops, with the participation of 265 trainees from various Arab countries. These programs come as part of the Institute’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the capabilities of Arab professionals in the fields of macroeconomics, investment, risk management, international trade, public finance, and modern statistical techniques.
The programs covered a wide range of topics, including:
advanced due diligence practices in investment operations; public revenue forecasting; public debt management strategies and the development of local capital markets; global trends in international trade; balance of payments analysis and exchange rate policy; supply and use tables and input–output tables; the use of emerging data and modern technologies in macroeconomic statistics; financial risk management; macroeconomic policies and forecasting; and regulatory frameworks for financial innovation.
Advanced programs were also delivered in collaboration with international institutions, including the World Bank, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the IMF Middle East Center for Economics and Finance (IMF-CEF), in addition to partnerships with regional and global central banks and financial institutions.
The programs were delivered in various formats (virtual, in-person, and hybrid), reflecting the Institute’s commitment to providing high-quality training opportunities that contribute to developing Arab institutional capacity and supporting economic development across the region.
