I reached out MESCI Program through an accurate selection of II level Masters in economics based in Rome that could fit with my job and interests. By attending the master, my intention is to strengthen and complete my academic background in international economics and analysis with a deep dive into the most relevant global themes such as sustainability, financial integration and international cooperation. As a portfolio manager, the program of the course would be definitely helpful to elaborate models and to support decision-making given the current environment characterized by a high degree of geopolitical risk and other global challenges (i.e. trade tensions, migration, climate change). At the same time, also considering my experience as a reserve manager, for the evolution of my future career I believe that with this program I can achieve a stronger profile to cover responsibility positions both internally to the Bank in its international network or even in other multinational and institutional Organizations such as multilateral development banks. Finally, the program will also represent an opportunity to establish rapport with the Professors’ team for future researches and academic collaboration.
