SNS/SHOF Finance panel with the former Chief ECB economist Peter Praet

Seminar 2020.01.15

We discuss the limits of monetary policy. Can negative interest rates and other non-conventional tools kick-start the economy? What is the role for fiscal policy? What are the market implications of monetary stimulus. We also discuss other economic challenges for Europe and the world economy.

The Finance Panel is a meeting forum for the financial sector, hosted by SNS and the Swedish House of Finance.

Swedish House of Finance (SHOF) at the Stockholm School of Economics is Sweden’s national research center in financial economics.
