The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has said it will support the Moroccan financial system by launching an e-learning training program on capital markets, local media reports said.
The program offers participants the opportunity to update their capital markets knowledge and skills, EBRD said in a statement.
The media reports said that the bank has noted that Morocco has a robust legal and regulatory framework and infrastructure for capital markets, but the Covid-19 pandemic forced it to upgrade skills in risk management and pricing.
The bank highlighted digital learning as a solution to develop the knowledge of a large number of people.
To enhance their capital markets and risk management skills and enable them to contribute towards the development of Morocco’s financial sector, participants will gain access to a wide range of course content in French and English, the reports said.
The participants would learn principles and practices of capital markets and institutional investment market, managing and pricing credit risk, raising funds via fixed-income and money markets.
The program will also discuss identifying the benefits of derivative financial instruments, exploring the potential of Islamic finance and fintech, recognizing the principles behind environmental, social and governance investments.
Participants’ progress will be tracked on a learning management system and on completion of the module, a certificate of completion will be given, the reports said.
