January 12–23: STI-CDOT Training Course on Topics in Fiscal Policy and Fiscal Sustainability

David Corvino, CDOT Macroeconomic Advisor, Laura Doherty, CDOT Public Financial Management Advisor, and the IMF team delivered a two‑week training course in Hanoi, Vietnam to strengthen fiscal policy analysis and sustainability capacity among officials from Cambodia, Lao P.D.R., and Vietnam. The course covered core topics in fiscal policy, including fiscal projections and debt sustainability analysis, complemented by workshops and interactive exercises to reinforce learning. The training combined lectures, discussions, and practical sessions, enabling participants to apply tools such as the Debt Dynamics Tool (DDT) and deepen their understanding of fiscal challenges. The course was highly successful, with strong participant engagement and significant improvements in learning outcomes, and participants highlighted its relevance to their daily work and requested continued IMF support for further capacity development.
