(if you are having trouble sleeping)
The ECB bill the conference as:
- jointly organised by the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the IMF Economic Review, will focus on new global challenges for international fiscal and monetary policy. These include increasing geoeconomic fragmentation, regional conflicts and climate change, which come with a higher frequency and changing nature of shocks. Against the backdrop of elevated inflation and record-high levels of public debt amid rising interest rates it will present approaches on how to design, calibrate and coordinate monetary and fiscal policies in today’s global economy.
Lane speaks again at this conference on Wednesday, his topic looks to be of more interest this time. I'll have more to come on this separately. Speaking at 1200 GMT / 0800 US Eastern time on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.
