JVI Newsletter ▪ December 2023

Dear Friends of the JVI, First, best wishes to all for happy year-end holidays and a healthy and prosperous New Year! 2024 will be a very exciting year at the JVI, with lots of new courses and experiments to improve the training experience, for instance through blended cohort training. Don’t forget to review our course schedule for 2024 and to register for courses before taking a well-deserved year-end break. It is still time to apply to our flagship Applied Economic Policy course, which offers a comprehensive and unique experience!  This newsletter reports on recent courses that show the breadth of our curriculum: Crisis and Resilience, Inclusive Growth, Fintech and Financial Stability, and the brand new Building Institutions to Fight Corruption. A hybrid seminar discussed whether inflation would persist amid tight labor markets in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.  If you have any questions, comments, or feedback of any kind, please write us a note at jvi@jvi.org. Many thanks to Rilind Kabashi, our Editor, Maša Valenko, and all the contributors to this Newsletter.  We hope to see you next year at the JVI! Hervé Joly Director, Joint Vienna Institute
