welcome to the IMF - Singapore Regional Training Institute

The IMF - Singapore Regional Training Institute (STI), located in Singapore, provides training on macroeconomic and financial management, and related legal and statistical issues, to government officials from 42 economies in the Asia-Pacific region. Most training takes place in two week seminars, with shorter events organized for senior officials.

A joint venture of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Government of Singapore, the STI serves as the IMF’s regional training center in Asia. It also contributes to the work of the Singapore Cooperation Program, which coordinates the resources available in Singapore for technical assistance to other countries.

Each year more than 700 officials participate in STI events, and another 100 attend national or regional courses held elsewhere in the region. Since 1998, the STI has provided training to more than 5,500 officials.
