Japan IMF Scholarship Program for Asia (2012-13)

Since its inception in 1993, the Japan-IMF
Scholarship Program for Asia (JISPA) has
targeted promising junior officials from
key economic policymaking agencies as part
of the International Monetary Fund’s capacity
building efforts. With the long-lasting support of the Government of Japan and under
the administration of the IMF Regional Office
for Asia and the Pacific in Tokyo, the JISPA has
awarded graduate-level scholarships for study
in Japan to nearly 530 officials from over 20 emerging and developing economies in the Asia and the Pacific region.
JISPA graduating scholars now occupy key positions in macroeconomic agencies in the region, including senior positions in central banks and ministries of
finance. Against this background, the JISPA has developed a solid reputation
and established itself as a prestigious program among Asian officials.
The JISPA is evolving to meet the changing needs of the macroeconomic
management agencies under this rapidly challenging global economic environment. The curriculum offered by each partnership university provides a greater
focus on banking and other financial sector issues, in addition to core macroeconomics subjects.
