BdF-ECB Workshop on international financial flows - virtual conference

The Banque de France and the European Central Bank are organizing a webinar on international financial flows on October 19 2020.

The International Relations Committee (IRC) of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) has launched an Expert Network on Financial Flows in 2019 to monitor recent trends in global capital flows and identify policy-relevant analysis and research on capital flow dynamics, as well as to analyse the policy implications of managing capital flows and spillovers.

The network provides a forum for the exchange of information between ESCB researchers and economists analysing capital flows. To this end, the 2020 workshop, which will take place in virtual format, will be open to all central banks and research/public sector/international institutions.

ONLINE REGISTRATION is mandatory.

Invited speakers

Tamim Bayoumi, Deputy Director in the Strategy, Policy and Review Department, International Monetary Fund, and Robin Koepke, Economist at the International Monetary Fund, have agreed to give keynote lectures.
