Capital markets are essential to the creation of prosperous societies. Yet in many countries, macroeconomic instability, variable regulatory policy, and illiquid markets deter long-term investments and deprive businesses of the finance they need to grow.
Successful capital-market development requires robust skills in financial regulation, market intermediation and policy planning. We are addressing this need by building a cadre of highly-skilled professionals across developing and emerging economies. Our alumni are equipped to strengthen their countries’ markets while exploring innovative financial solutions to pressing social and economic challenges.
Tailored course-work and workshops at the George Washington University Business School
4-month internship in private and public sector institutions across the US financial industry
In-person and online collaboration with alumni from 40+ developing and emerging economies
