Type: Members event

The last decade has seen a dramatic shift in the relationship between central banks, notably the ECB, and the public. Regular updates on monetary policy decisions and transparent reporting of inflation targets have replaced the secrecy of the past. The speaker will argue that a return to less effective ECB communication would risk higher, more volatile levels of long-term interest rates and potentially threaten the economy as a whole.

This meeting is held in association with the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation
