This specialized track trains economists capable of addressing the major monetary and macroeconomic challenges that shape our societies. With a strong focus on issues related to monetary policy, financial stability, and short- and long-term macroeconomic dynamics, it provides a solid foundation in monetary economics, macro-finance, and financial institutions.

Thanks to close ties with the National Bank of Belgium,where many HEC Liège students regularly complete internships, this track combines academic rigor with immersion in real-world professional environments.

It prepares graduates for careers in central banks, supervisory authorities, financial institutions, and macroeconomic analysis units in both the public and private sectors.

• analyze macroeconomic and monetary dynamics using advanced theoretical and quantitative tools;
• understand and assess the mechanisms of monetary policy and their effects on the real economy and financial markets;
• grasp the challenges of financial stability and the role of financial institutions and central banks;
• apply macroeconomic and macro-financial models to inform economic decision-making;
• develop a critical perspective on economic policies in both national and international contexts.
