演題
“Is the age of independent central banks over, and should we care?”
Central banks are under attack and pressure from multiple directions. The president of the United States criticises the Federal Reserve; the Indian government sacked its governor; the Italian government wanted heads to roll at the Banca D’Italia; some British politicians condemn the Bank of England for being against Brexit. Others, particularly on the Left, want central banks to do more, including helping with climate change and inequality. Meanwhile, the ability of central banks to soften the next recession will be limited. Drawing on his book, Unelected Power, Paul Tucker will discuss whether we have come to rely too much on central banks, whether it is possible to cooperate with the fiscal authority without compromising independence, and how central bankers should try to return to their traditional role of maintaining a stable monetary system.
