Workshop on Monetary Policy and Asset Prices: Lessons from the Crisis and New Tools, 3-4 May 2018

Following the great financial crisis, standard policy rates got constrained by the effective lower bound. In order to further stimulate the economy, many central banks across the globe turned to unconventional monetary policies. The effects of these unconventional monetary policies (e.g. asset purchases, forward guidance, etc.) are currently still debated. In order to provide an opportunity to exchange views between policymakers and academics, the Financial and Monetary Studies Directorate of the Banque de France has organized the workshop ‘Monetary Policy and Asset Prices: Lessons from the Crisis and New Tools’ to improve the understanding of the current monetary policy challenges and point towards possible solutions for the future.
