EABCN Conference: International Business Cycle - Linkages, Differences and Implications

Date: 
Sunday, 27 June 2010 to Monday, 28 June 2010
Venue: 
Magyar Nemzeti Bank, Budapest

Global imbalances are widely seen to have been a contributory cause to the recent financial crisis and subsequent recession. The recession saw a sharp fall in trade and greater than usual synchronised declines across nations. A financial crisis in the US produced a sharp recession in Europe. The importance of spillovers between Emerging and Western Europe became apparent. In turn recovery is taking shape in different ways across different countries. There is a growing belief that understanding world business cycles will require greater understanding of the business cycle in emerging markets as well as global interactions between countries.  The conference was hosted by Magyar Nemzeti Bank on 28-29 June 2010.
