Policy Lab on “Challenges to Financial Stability”

The QCGBF will hold its first policy lab on 11 March 2020: policy labs are intended to bring together academics, policymakers and industry experts to discuss relevant questions for central banks and financial markets. This policy lab is dedicated to aspects of financial stability that play a central role in the rapidly changing and developing landscape of central bank policymaking. The lab will focus on two key areas: the links between monetary policy and financial stability, and the challenges and opportunities offered by the new age of financial technology and big data for central banks and for financial stability.
