The virtual course on Fiscal Sustainability enhanced my understanding of fiscal developments and different channels that could impact countries long term debt stability. 

The course introduced participants with a practical analysis tool that can be used for evaluating debt sustainability and different debt development scenarios. In a group work we had a chance to practice this analysis for the country of one of our group members. I still have some homework to do - to apply this tool for my own country. I am eager to do so to have a stronger base for debt sustainability discussions as this is a hot topic in fiscal analysis. 

I was impressed how efficient a virtual course can be, and in case on site courses are not available I sincerely recommend applying to virtual ones. I missed visiting Vienna, but it was great to get new knowledge and expertise from the place I am at, and even there were no face-to-face meetings, enough time was planned for group work, discussions, and interaction with counselors.
