Joint ECB-IMF-IMFER Conference 2024
Global Challenges and Channels for Fiscal and Monetary Policy
Tuesday, 23 and Wednesday, 24 July 2024
Frankfurt am Main – Hybrid event
The conference, 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.
