November 6-15, 2024

From November 6 to 15, 2024, CICDC and the People’s Bank of China co-organized the course on Sovereign Risk and Debt Sustainability Framework for Market Access Countries and IMF Policies (SRDSF-MAC) in Dalian. 34 participants joined the course, including 16 from various agencies in China, and 18 from Angola, Bolivia, Ecuador, Pakistan, Mongolia, Suriname, and the Maldives.

This course, delivered by Mr. Marcos Chamon, Ms. Jasmin Sin, Ms. Yukun Ding, and Mr. Zhuo Chen from the IMF Strategy, Policy, and Review Department, presented the IMF’s Sovereign Risk and Debt Sustainability Framework (SRDSF) for Market Access Countries (MACs) through presentations, discussions, and exercises. Participants worked on exercises and real-life case studies and analyzed MAC SRDSF outputs. Participants were exposed to key features of the Sovereign Risk and Debt Sustainability Analysis (SRDSA) template in a guided manner during hands-on sessions, and worked in groups to consider scenarios and their implications for the evolution of debt vulnerabilities, and options to mitigate risks. The course received positive feedback from the participants.
