Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Central Banking & Monetary Operations Training Course in Lagos, Nigeria
Classroom training in Lagos · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 2,800
A central bank earns credibility through clear mandates, disciplined policy choices and operations that transmit its decisions to the market. Over five days, participants study how those pieces fit together. Sessions begin with central bank independence, governance and accountability, then move to monetary policy frameworks such as inflation targeting, monetary aggregates and exchange rate regimes. The operational block covers liquidity forecasting, the interbank market, open market operations, standing facilities, reserve requirements and foreign exchange intervention, with attention to how signals reach lending and deposit rates.
Regulatory themes include macroprudential tools, Basel capital and liquidity standards, banking supervision, payment system oversight, crisis management and resolution. Policy economists, monetary operations and financial markets staff, supervisors, treasury officials, commercial bank treasurers and regulators from neighbouring authorities are the natural audience. Exercises use stylised balance sheets and policy committee simulations to show how decisions are prepared and communicated. The programme runs in classrooms across 18 cities, online or in-house, and ends with a CPD-accredited certificate. Participants leave able to read a policy statement critically and explain the operational steps behind it.

About this course
Since the global financial crisis, central banks have taken on broader responsibilities, adding financial stability, payments oversight and sometimes development objectives to price stability. Staff in these institutions, and in the banks and ministries that deal with them, must understand both the legal architecture that sets the mandate and the day-to-day operations that implement it.
The programme starts with the foundations of central bank law and governance, including independence, accountability, transparency and the relationship with the government. It then examines monetary policy design: objectives, strategies, transmission channels, forecasting and policy committee processes. Participants then work through the machinery of monetary operations, learning how a bank projects system liquidity, chooses instruments and manages its own balance sheet and reserves. The regulatory half of the course deals with licensing, prudential standards, macroprudential policy, stress testing, deposit insurance and bank resolution.
Learning combines lecture, balance sheet exercises, review of published policy statements and a simulated monetary policy committee meeting where groups must agree a decision and communicate it to the public. By the close, each participant has a clearer sense of how legal design, policy judgement and market operations reinforce one another.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the legal mandate, independence and governance arrangements of a central bank.
- Compare monetary policy frameworks, including inflation targeting and exchange rate regimes.
- Describe the transmission channels through which policy rate changes affect the economy.
- Forecast system liquidity and select suitable open market and standing facility operations.
- Assess the design of reserve requirements and foreign exchange intervention policy.
- Apply macroprudential and microprudential tools to contain systemic risk.
- Outline the principles of payment system oversight, crisis management and bank resolution.
- Prepare clear policy communications for markets and the public.
