Dear Friends of the JVI,


We hope that this first newsletter of 2022 finds you well. In this edition, you will find reports on two courses recently delivered at the JVI: the IMF’s course on Macroeconomic Management in Resource Rich Countries and the OeNB’s course on Stability and Supervisory Stress Testing for Banking Systems. We have also just launched our flagship Applied Economic Policy course, which is substantially redesigned and will combine first virtual and online training, and hopefully later this year in-person training in Vienna. Recent webinars have covered Global and European Financial Stability Risks, Managing Nonperforming Loans, Monetary Policy Challenges during the Pandemic, and Firm Recovery and Covid-19: Productivity, Competition, and the Digital Divide. This newsletter also reports on a recent IMF paper dealing with Forecasting and Policy Analysis Systems, to which JVI staff contributed. Last but not least, please read about Markus Eller, who has just joined the JVI faculty.


As you know, our course schedule for 2022 is available. Don’t hesitate to spread the word! 


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, Nensi Dragusha, and all the contributors to this Newsletter. 


Hervé Joly, Director, Joint Vienna Institute
