Barclays-CEPR International Monetary Policy Forum 2024

CEPR, in collaboration with Barclays, are pleased to announce the third Barclays-CEPR International Monetary Policy Forum, which will take place on Tuesday 28 May in London. We will be joined by Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari, ECB Governing Council member Klaas Knot, by Bank of England MPC member Catherine Mann and by Professor of Economics at London Business School and CEPR Research Fellow Lucrezia Reichlin.

On Tuesday 28 May 2024, we will present our third annual International Monetary Policy Forum.

Interest rates have soared, inflation is decelerating and growth is now slowing in major economies. But it is not yet clear whether policymakers have overtightened, and will have to cut rates soon to avoid a hard landing — or whether still-tight labour markets and new disruptions to supply chains will require a restrictive monetary stance for a long period, to restore inflation to central banks' targets.

We will discuss these and other top-of-mind issues at the Barclays-CEPR Monetary Policy Forum 2024 and we hope you will join us.

This is a primarily in-person event, with select sessions livestreamed to the public.
