The Norges Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the IMF Economic Review have organized a joint conference on "The Future of Macroeconomic Policy" to be held in Oslo, June 15-16, 2023. In today's economic landscape, we grapple with rigorous tests of monetary policy due to persistent inflation, and the need to navigate the complexities of alliance-driven policies and geo-economic fragmentation.

The conference presents an exceptional lineup of academic and policy sessions, featuring in-depth evaluations of monetary policy tools' effectiveness, the far-reaching impacts of trade and FDI restrictions resulting from shifting geo-economic dynamics, and the changing role of reserve currencies. Additionally, participants will delve into the intersection of environmental and economic policies. All times are in local time.
