CBRT to Host International Conference on Monetary Policy in Emerging Markets
The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkiye (CBRT) is set to host a prestigious international academic conference on May 7-8, 2025, in Istanbul. The event, titled “Monetary Policy in Emerging Markets,” is being organized in collaboration with the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). This conference aims to encourage research on monetary policies in emerging economies and examine their past experiences to shape future policies.
The conference is expected to bring together representatives from major global financial institutions, including the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), the European Central Bank (ECB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank.
A Platform for Critical Monetary Policy Discussions
This international gathering will cover several key topics related to monetary policy, particularly in the context of emerging markets, where economic dynamics often differ from developed economies.
Key discussion topics include:
- Monetary policy in high inflation environments
- Optimal monetary policy trade-offs in emerging markets
- Interaction between monetary and fiscal policies in developing economies
- Impact of monetary policy on capital flows and exchange rates
- Global South’s role in geopolitical fragmentation
These topics highlight the pressing challenges faced by emerging markets, as they navigate complex monetary policies in a rapidly changing global economic landscape.
Global Participation
The event will feature experts from the world’s leading financial institutions, fostering a rich dialogue on the interaction between monetary policy and financial markets in emerging economies. Participants from the Fed, ECB, IMF, and World Bank are expected to attend, offering insights into how monetary policies shape global capital flows and influence exchange rate stability.
Researchers and policymakers will also share their experiences, offering a broad view of how emerging markets can optimize monetary policy while managing risks associated with global financial volatility.
Research Opportunities
In addition to expert panels and keynote speeches, the conference encourages academics and researchers to submit their work for presentation. Papers focusing on topics such as fiscal and monetary policy interactions, debt management, and inflationary impacts on trade and supply chains are especially welcome. Those interested in participating can submit their research through the conference’s dedicated webpage on the NBER site.
Focus on Structural Reform
The CBRT’s hosting of this conference also underscores Turkiye’s growing influence in global economic discussions, particularly around emerging market strategies.
