Course Overview
Central banks are different from commercial banks in that they do not accept deposits and are not meant to be profit maximisers. Central banking, as a concept, is more concerned with maintaining monetary stability, full employment and economic growth for a nation.
It is responsible for the supervision of other banks and the regulation of activities of non-bank financial intermediaries. One of its main areas, monetary policy, helps manage the money supply and prevents inflation.
This Zoe training course will empower you with an in-depth understanding of international central banking models and the legal framework surrounding such associations.
This course will provide you with the required knowledge and experience to assume global central banking roles, thereby fostering faster career progression. Further, knowledge of the surrounding legal framework will help you ensure adherence to all required laws, protecting one’s organisation against risks of breaching norms.
