Getting Global Monetary Policy on Track

Based on the 2024 Monetary Policy Conference held at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, Getting Global Monetary Policy on Track reviews recent global inflation, asking how central banks could have better responded and how they can improve their forecasting and policy strategies to avoid inflationary bursts in the future. Discussions delve into the interactions of fiscal and monetary policies, digital currency, and how the European Central Bank has become more dovish, preferring to keep interest rates low. The publication shares the presentations from economic experts around the globe, who contribute analysis of monetary policy and strategy from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the United States, in large economies and in emerging markets. It also reproduces the lively and informative discussions at the conference. Essays on financial regulation examine asset value and equity levels in the US banking system, Treasury market turmoil, Federal Reserve independence, the 2023 UK pension fund meltdown, and regulatory expansion. Additional topics include labor market responses to the surge in remote work; how Israel handled financial shocks following the 2023 Hamas attack; and continued fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic: the supply, fiscal, and relative demand shocks of the pandemic and how central banks handled postpandemic inflation.
