During March and April 2026, the Training and Capacity Building Institute of the Arab Monetary Fund organized a series of specialized remote training courses, with the participation of more than 130 trainees from across Arab countries, as part of its efforts to strengthen technical and institutional capacities.
These programmes reflect the Institute’s commitment to advancing institutional capacity by developing Arab talent capable of keeping pace with evolving economic and financial challenges.
The courses covered a range of key topics aligned with regional economic and financial priorities. They addressed climate change by exploring mitigation and adaptation concepts, related policies, and climate finance, while also highlighting smart solutions and practical applications for designing sustainable plans. They further examined the use of data derived from social media and news to measure economic expectations and sentiment, through natural language processing techniques, textual data analysis, and the development of specialized indicators.
In this context, the courses also discussed financial integration and its impact on financial inclusion and stability, including methodologies for measuring financial integration and its implications for the efficiency of financial systems. They additionally covered risk management in Islamic financial institutions, analyzing risk models and quantitative approaches to measuring market and credit risks. The sessions also reviewed regulatory and supervisory frameworks for the Takaful insurance sector, including Sharia governance, risk-based supervision, and implementation challenges in Arab countries.
These programmes form part of the Institute’s ongoing efforts to support the development of Arab talent and align with the latest international practices.
