The 7th annual research conference jointly organized by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and the Euro Area Business Cycle Network (EABCN) will focus on the emerging challenges of public and private competition in payments and decentralized finance along with their legal and regulatory challenges. Confirmed keynote speakers are Prof. Markus Brunnermeier (Princeton University) and Tommaso Mancini-Griffoli (International Monetary Fund).

The organizing committee invites submissions in the following areas (non-exhaustive)
- Monetary Policy effectiveness with public private currency competition
- Trade, FX volatility with cross-border CBDC

Professors Itamar Drechsler, Alexi Savov and Philipp Schabl will teach a four-day course entitled “Financial Intermediation and Monetary Policy”.  This class will explore the role of financial intermediaries in the transmission of monetary policy. The central topics are how monetary policy affects bank lending, the supply of liquidity, risk premia, and inflation through its interaction with the financial system. The training school will cover both theory and empirics, emphasizing the most recent contributions to the literature as well as our own work. Above all, this is a very active area of research, and we hope our discussions will stimulate the next wave of new ideas.
