CRISIL MacroPlus is a training programme designed to enhance participants’ understanding of macro-economic policies and their implications in a way that helps them zone in on actionable, essential intelligence for strategic decision making.
This is crucial in today’s hyper-competitive, dynamic and globalised milieu.
The economics training programme that the CRISIL Centre for Economic Research has been offering for over a decade has now been bolstered and is being re-launched as CRISIL MacroPlus.
The course now has wider application and is a more elaborate package that includes discussions on a variety of research areas that CRISIL’s economics team has worked on.
The global flavour to the course is a clear add-on, based on the understanding built through frequent and regular interactions with global economists, especially from S&P Global.
