Theme
The coronavirus pandemic presented numerous unprecedented challenges to central banks in both industrialized countries and emerging markets. The sudden global recession, the often-interrupted recovery, the displacement of labor, capital, and financial resources all required policy makers to adopt new strategies, often untested, in order to provide liquidity to the markets, reduce the cost of capital, and ultimately limit the impact on the economy --- all the while the pandemic continued to destabilize the pre-existing economic order. These actions raise numerous questions about their rationale and effectiveness as well as about their potential distortions on both Wall Street and Main Street --- from a liquidity glut to excessive risk-taking to volatility.
Please note in person attendance is invitation only. Deadline for registration is 31 March (in person) and 5 April (online).
