BACKGROUND
The Private Capital Flows Monitoring System (PCMS) is a web-based application that was developed by MEFMI to assist member countries to effectively monitor private capital flows into their economies. Since its roll-out, MEFMI has continually upgraded the system to keep abreast with the dynamic user needs. More recently, MEFMI has been working on the fourth upgrade of the system which involved redesigning the user interface and enhancing the system functionalities. The key objective of this upgrade is to deliver a more robust system that meets the emerging sophisticated needs of users and leverages technological advancements to support the compilation of high-frequency data. It also aims at supporting the availability of mirror statistics as part of ongoing efforts to contribute to the firming of intra-regional trade and investment data. Against this background, MEFMI will carry out a User Training regional workshop on the upgraded system.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the workshop is to impart;
i. Knowledge and skills to compilers of private capital flows on the functionalities of the upgraded PCMS.
ii. Skills to IT staff on the system architecture and administration required for IT support.
