Welcome to a breakfast seminar with Peter Praet, Executive Board member and Chief Economist at ECB until June this year.

We will 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 will 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.

The meeting will be held in English.
