  Career prospects
  
  The programme is designed for those intending to pursue careers as economists within financial institutions or governmental agencies in developing countries, as well as those already in professional posts who wish to expand and update their knowledge. The needs of such economists tend to be twofold: an advanced understanding of the debates in macroeconomic theory and policy from an international perspective; and a detailed knowledge of finance and monetary policy in a developing country context.
