Assessing and Managing Risks from Contingent Liabilities Course


INTRODUCTION

This training will help government risk managers in identifying and classifying the key types of Contingent Labilities (CLs) countries are exposed to and the key characteristics of a government’s risk exposure. The training is highly interactive, delivered through a combination of presentations and case studies. The presentations serve to provide a framework for thinking through the issues of CL risk management, to provide some basic understanding of technical issues, and to serve as a base for the hands-on portion of the training. Participants put the lessons learned in the presentations into practice through case studies, group work and hands-on exercises. In addition to providing a framework for CL risk management, the training will focus on assessing and managing risks from government guarantees. At the end of the training, participants put all lessons into practice, presenting a holistic risk management framework for a chosen country.
