Description
Europe’s Economic Outlook and Monetary Policy Space
Silvana Tenreyro, FBA, CBE, will discuss the economic landscape in Europe, where it stands and where it might be heading to, focusing on some of the key challenges facing policy makers, including tariffs and broader geopolitical fragmentation, uncertainty and AI. She will then weigh up on the monetary policy space available in the event of large recessionary shocks, zooming in on the effectiveness of negative interest rates. In doing so, she will bring together empirical findings, insights from theoretical models, and real-life concerns of monetary policy makers about possible side effects on the banking system.
