Sixth ECB biennial conference on “Fiscal Policy and EMU Governance”

Monday, 18 and Tuesday, 19 December 2023
Frankfurt am Main

At the sixth biennial ECB conference on “Fiscal Policy and EMU Governance” we welcomed a keynote lecture by Olivier Blanchard, a high-level policy panel on EMU policy challenges and reforms, and cutting-edge academic papers that discussed among other things monetary-fiscal interactions, public finance rules and sustainability and the impact of fiscal policy on the economy at a time when the revision of the EU’s Stability and Growth Pact was approved.
