I am honoured to present to you the attached range of courses that the Central Bank of Kenya has rolled out. The courses are geared towards building human resource capacity in central banking and the financial with the aim of ensuring a stable financial system.
 
The courses cover traditional central banking topics such as monetary policy formulation and implementation, bank supervision, financial stability, payment systems, currency management, among others. The calendar also covers financial sector matters such operational risk management, credit risk management, branch management, trade finance, among others. In addition to these traditional central banking and financial courses, the Bank also plans to mount occasional seminars and topics on such current maters as Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Cyber security, climate change, among others.
 
These courses have been developed as a result of the skills gaps identified through research and training needs assessment conducted for the financial sector. The Institute will further focus on high-level conferences, seminars and workshops on emerging and topical issues at national, regional and global levels, with the goal of bringing together stakeholders to share their experiences and challenges in addressing these issues. The courses will be mounted by the Central Bank of Kenya Institute of Monetary Studies, a department of the Central Bank of Kenya based along the Thika Superhighway in Nairobi. The Institute was formerly known as the Kenya School of Monetary Studies, a then separate company owned jointly by the Central Bank of Kenya and the National Treasury until April 2024 when this company was dissolved and its capacity-building activities taken over by the Central Bank of Kenya.
 
In our commitment to deliver high quality technical and specialized training programs and conferences, we leverage on the knowledge-base and expertise of selected strategic partners in content development, design and delivery of our programs.
