Macro-fiscal modelling and forecasting have become more important than ever for Governments around the world to assess the impact of the global economic shocks on macro-economic performance, develop alternate scenarios and forecasts to inform evidence-based policy responses to support their economies and societies.
ESCWA, in cooperation with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), conducted from 26 to 28 November a national training workshop on macro-fiscal modelling and forecasting for Jordan.
The training, which provided access to a dynamic, user-friendly interface developed by ESCWA, aimed at enhancing the capacity of policymakers in the country to use macro-economic forecasts and simulations to better inform decisions on financing social expenditures and the SDGs, in line with national priorities.
