THE ROLE OF THE GLOBAL PRACTICE FOR MACROECONOMICS, TRADE and INVESTMENT (MTI) IN THE WBG


The Macroeconomics, Trade and Investment (MTI) Global Practice (GP) is comprised of some 450 staff, with almost half working in country offices around the world.

MTI houses the Bank's country economists together with trade economists and specialists, debt and macro modeling experts, and fiscal experts.

MTI offers integrated solutions to macroeconomic and structural reform programs. In doing so, MTI staff work closely with other GPs.


MTI staff help to shape and lead knowledge and learning related activities across a range of thematic areas, including but not limited to: (a) macroeconomics; (b) fiscal policy; (c) growth; (d) economic management in resource rich environments; (e) macroeconomic modelling & statistics; (f) trade and regional integration.


THE LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN REGION (LCR)
The World Bank Group serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR).

Clients range from large rapidly growing sophisticated middle-income clients to International Development Association (IDA) Borrowing Countries to small Caribbean states and one fragile state.

Despite immense resources, dynamic societies, and an average annual per capita income of about US$4,000, deep inequalities persist in most LCR countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region's people living in poverty.

The Bank's strategy in LCR is focused on three pillars:
promoting inclusive growth, investing in human capital, and building resilience.

This includes encouraging better governance and economic integration and leveraging the private finance necessary to address the region's pressing development needs.

The MTI LAC unit is seeking high-performing and energetic team member to fulfill the functions of Operations Analyst.

He/She will support the preparation, implementation, monitoring and reporting of MTI deliverables in LCR in close collaboration with the MTI Practice Manager.
