Abstract

This paper proposes a curriculum designed to equip MBA students with the critical skills needed to analyze, interpret, and leverage reports produced by major global financial institutions, including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and key credit rating agencies. As financial markets become increasingly interconnected, a deep understanding of such reports is essential for future leaders to make informed decisions in investment, policy analysis, and risk management. The curriculum integrates methodologies for assessing macroeconomic indicators, fiscal policies, and sovereign credit ratings, fostering an understanding of how these reports influence global economic stability and financial markets. By introducing tools for interpreting financial data and analytical frameworks from diverse institutions, the program seeks to build proficiency in navigating the complexities of international finance, ultimately preparing students to contribute more effectively within global economic and investment landscapes.
