Data and Analysis
We support public officials in developing their capacities to provide high-quality data and carry out analyses for improved policy-making processes. The effort includes strengthening the analytical skills for compiling and dealing with data and carrying out macro/micro-economic analysis and forecasting.
We engage officials from ministries of finance and line ministries in further learning about the economic impact assessment of policy measures and monitoring the implementation of the reforms. We also support the learning of the central banks’ staff in the areas of macroprudential policy making and monetary policy making.

2025 Highlights
In 2025, we will continue with the initiatives focused on economic impact assessment and monitoring implementation of reforms to strengthen data-driven decision-making.
These efforts will primarily examine reforms through the lens of Economic Reform Programmes and Reform Agendas in accession countries. At the regional level, we will this year focus on the energy sector reforms while developing capacities for addressing diverse country-specific reform contexts.
For monitoring reform implementation, we will support countries in reporting both achievement on qualitative and quantitative steps in their Reform Agendas and in tracking the achievement of general and specific reform objectives.
Additionally, we will enhance support for officials in central banks and other related institutions by addressing topics such as macroprudential policy instruments, climate change analysis and research, and data science using R.
