The European Central Bank (ECB) will be holding its annual Forum on Central Banking online on September 28th and 29th. This event brings together central bank governors, academics, financial market representatives, journalists and others to exchange views on current policy issues and discuss the Forum’s key topic from a longer-term perspective.

The 2021 edition will be focusing on the future of monetary policy « beyond the pandemic », with an introductory address given by Christine LAGARDE, President of the ECBParticipants will examine the broader economic implications of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and discuss future challenges for monetary policy.

Topics will include the future of inflation, employment and the distributional effects of monetary policy, and will examine the link between monetary policy and climate change in a European context.

The Forum will also consider the role of corporate indebtedness in a post-pandemic world and reflect on the potentially lasting structural changes brought about by the pandemic across business sectors.
