Bank of England Watchers’ Conference 2023

Institution of Engineering and Technology, London

3 Nov The crossroads outside the Bank of England, the Bank of England is to the left of the picture

This annual conference brings together policymakers, market economists and leading academics to discuss current issues in monetary and financial stability policy with a deliberate focus on the UK. The event is being jointly organised by the Money Macro Finance Society and King's Business School at King’s College London.

The purpose of the conference, which was inspired by the well-known European Central Bank Watchers’ Conference and the US Monetary Policy Forum, was to bring together leading academics, policymakers, and financial market practitioners to discuss and debate salient policy issues facing the Bank of England at this juncture.
