Every interest rate decision, auction and intervention in the foreign exchange market starts with accurate liquidity data and a clear operating framework. Central bank staff and the institutions that deal with them must understand how policy signals travel through money markets to prices, credit and the exchange rate. Over five days experienced practitioners examine that chain in detail.
Topics include monetary policy frameworks, inflation targeting and monetary aggregates, the policy rate corridor, reserve requirements, standing facilities, repo and reverse repo, treasury bill and bond operations, and sterilisation. Participants forecast banking system liquidity, design open market operations, and review foreign exchange intervention and reserve management principles. Further sessions cover payment systems, lender of last resort, macroprudential tools, financial stability analysis and central bank communication. Exercises use liquidity tables and auction data. The programme will benefit central bank departmental staff, treasury and market operations officers in commercial banks, ministry of finance debt managers, regulators, economists and analysts who follow monetary policy. It is offered in the classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can interpret a monetary operations framework, evaluate policy transmission and prepare briefing notes for decision makers.
Monetary authorities in developing and emerging economies operate in conditions of volatile capital flows, shallow markets, commodity shocks and fiscal pressure. Policy credibility depends on the technical machinery behind it: forecasting liquidity, selecting instruments, absorbing or injecting funds and explaining decisions clearly. Professionals who understand this machinery can anticipate market behaviour and contribute meaningfully to policy dialogue.
The programme starts with the mandate, independence and governance of a central bank and the main monetary policy regimes. Participants examine how the operational target is chosen, how the policy rate corridor and reserve requirements steer short-term rates, and how open market and standing facility operations are conducted day to day. The foreign exchange block addresses intervention, reserve adequacy and portfolio management. The remaining sessions connect monetary operations with financial stability, payment systems, supervision and communication, showing how these functions reinforce one another during stress.
Delivery combines concise lectures, numerical liquidity exercises, auction simulations and discussion of recent policy episodes. Each participant prepares a short policy and operations briefing that applies the methods to their own jurisdiction.
