PANEL DISCUSSION II - Interaction between Fiscal and Monetary Policy

After more than a decade of low interest rates, central banks are fighting inflation again. High public debt poses a challenge for monetary policy in many countries as monetary tightening limits the space for fiscal policy through higher interest rate burden as well as slower GDP growth. The second panel discussion titled ’Interaction between Fiscal and Monetary Policy’ will focus on one of the most topical questions of today’s central banking.
