Strategic dialogue highlights South Asia training centre role

During the India‑IMF meeting, the South Asia Regional Training and Technical Assistance Centre (SARTTAC) received special attention. Representatives from both sides lauded India’s contributions to the centre, which serves as a hub for capacity building in fiscal management and economic governance for the region.

The discussion noted that SARTTAC’s programs are instrumental in strengthening the technical expertise of South Asian nations, thereby fostering greater economic integration. Both parties agreed to expand collaborative research and training modules to address emerging challenges such as digital finance and climate‑related fiscal risks.

The emphasis on the centre reflects a broader intent to deepen multilateral support mechanisms that can bolster economic stability across the sub‑continent.
