3rd ASB-CEPR-ERSA-ADB-CAMA-BNM and WB Workshop on Macroeconomic Policy in Emerging Markets 

Macroeconomic policy in emerging markets is facing the multiple challenges of an uncertain global environment, high world interest rates, and a limited fiscal space after unprecedented global shocks. At the same time emerging markets are becoming increasingly important both as determinants of the world economic outlook and centers of policy innovation and experimentation. 

The 3rd Macroeconomic Policy in Emerging Markets Workshop is dedicated to exploring and discussing research on the challenges to macroeconomic policy in emerging markets, the policy options available to them and the best ways to inform and monitor policy.

Hélène Rey (London Business School and CEPR) will be the keynote speaker of the conference.

We invite submissions in a broad range of topics related to macroeconomic policies in emerging markets. Among others, themes of interest are:

• Conventional and unconventional monetary policy
• Fiscal policy
• Fiscal and monetary policy coordination
• Spillovers from and to advanced economies
• Debt sustainability and consolidation
• Capital flow management policies
• Macro-prudential policies
• New data and new methods for policymaking in emerging markets
• Exchange rate determination
• Policy credibility
• Distributional effects of policymaking

Travel and accommodation expenses for academic speakers on the programme will be covered based on CEPR travel guidelines. The conference is organised with the support of the Asia School of Business’ Central Banking Reserarch Centre, Bank Negara Malaysia, the Asian Development Bank, the Centre of Applied Macroeconomic Analysis (Australian National University), World Bank’s East Asia and Pacific Office, the South African Reserve Bank and the Banco Central de Chile.
