We were happy to welcome Nwe Nwe Win back at our GRIPS Campus when she participated in the week-long Japan-IMF Macroeconomic Seminar (JIMS), an executive training program for macroeconomic policy makers in Asia in February 2018.

Here are her comments about the JIMS Seminar: “JIMS is one of the effective and efficient seminars for me. It was really an executive course within a week full of policy messages for sustainable development based on the current world economy. The beauty of this seminar is providing an opportunity to meet all executive levels from MoPF and CBM in one place for the exchange of views and thoughts.”
