An experienced economist works in a division, reports to the division chief, and often participates in mission assignments as an important contributing member of a country team.

Experienced economists must have solid analytical skills and strong written and oral communication skills in English. Experienced economists should have either a Ph.D and a maximum of 10 years experience or a Masters and a minimum of 5 years of experience as professionals handling economic policy issues at the national level and/or in academia and be knowledgeable on global economic and financial stability issues. Strong understanding of macro-fiscal policy issues would be a plus. All economist positions require a graduate-level degree (preferably at the Ph.D. level) in macroeconomics, financial economics, or in related fields, such as monetary economics, public finance, banking and financial sector.
