OGResearch Economists Jaromir Hurnik and Ljubica Trajcev delivered a workshop at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe under the Forecasting & Policy Analysis System (FPAS) project, organized by Macroeconomic and Financial Management Institute of Eastern and Southern Africa (MEFMI). The engagement builds on previous work to further strengthen the central bank’s analytical and policy modeling capacity.
During the workshop, the team focused on expanding the model’s granularity to better reflect the specific features of the Zimbabwean economy, supporting more detailed and policy-relevant analysis. The discussions also emphasized the continued development and practical use of the framework in the monetary policy process.
