be classroom-based, distance learning or multi-media.

Supporting the customized application of the flexibility of
IBRD financial terms (currency, interest rate basis,

management needs. This support can be provided during IBRD
project/loan preparation or in connection with the client's
overall IBRD financing program.

in general and IBRD hedging products in particular.
