OBS

The Baltic Economic Management Training Program(BEMTP)-a multi-million dollar initiative in all three Baltic countries-was one of CIDA's flagship programs for sound and effective public administration. Deemed to be both a timely and an extremely relevant initiative, the BEMTP specificially targeted young, mid-level "high achievers" who were likely to make significant impacts in macroeconomic and public procurement policy. This project is notable for its flexibility in helping almost every individual participant meet their professional requirements through a balance of theoretical courses and practical experience.

Domaine(s)

Le Programme de formation en gestion économique pour les pays baltes (BEMTP), une initiative dotée d'une enveloppe de plusieurs millions de dollars et mis en œuvre dans les trois pays baltes, était un des programmes «phares» de l'ACDI pour favoriser l'avènement d'une administration publique saine et efficace. Considéré comme une initiative à la fois opportune et fort pertinente, le programme ciblait précisément la jeune garde, c'est-à-dire des jeunes gestionnaires de niveau intermédiaire susceptibles de faire leur marque dans l'élaboration de politiques macroéconomiques et de politiques en matière de marchés publics. Ce projet se démarque par la souplesse dont il a fait preuve afin d'aider chaque participant à atteindre ses exigences professionnelles au moyen d'une combinaison judicieuse de cours théoriques et d'expérience pratique.

Subject field(s)
  • Currency and Foreign Exchange
CONT

During World War I most countries suspended the redeemability of their currencies into gold..., withdrew gold coins from circulation, and concentrated gold holdings in official reserves. The currencies of most belligerent countries did not, however, depreciate by much in terms of gold and the dollar because of official pegging operations supported by gold sales, foreign borrowing, liquidation of assets abroad, and imposition of some import and exchange controls. At the end of the war the United States was virtually the only country on a full gold standard.
