Overview
The 2nd Annual Swiss Day marks the ongoing collaboration of 澳门六合彩鈥檚 Global Europe Program and the Europa Institut at the University of Zurich.
The global economic crisis highlighted the importance of central banks in preventing economic collapse and restoring growth while maintaining financial stability.聽Central banks have responded with innovative policies to address these challenges. At the same time, fiscal authorities in many countries are tightly constrained.聽Thus either explicitly or implicitly, many governments are ceding macroeconomic policy authority to their central banks.聽Is this sustainable in the long run?聽With large cross border capital flows adding complexity, should central bankers actively coordinate their policies?聽Is this possible without compromising national objectives and central bank independence? Please join us as our expert panel provides U.S. and European perspectives on these and other critical issues.
This event is co-sponsored by the Europa Institut at the University of Zurich.
