23rd Annual Monetary Conference: Monetary Institutions and Economic Development
Cosponsored with The Economist
Thursday, November 3, 2005
8:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m.
Poverty reduction requires adopting the right institutions—including monetary institutions. Emerging market economies that peg their currencies and thwart market adjustments risk overheating and might engender protectionism on the part of their trading partners. This year’s monetary conference will address the following issues:
- What kinds of monetary institutions should emerging market economiesadopt for sustainable development?
- Is China’s new exchange rate regime conducive to future development?
- What have we learned from the failure of debt-based development?
- What is the link between financial market liberalization and economic development?
- How will global imbalances and financial crises be resolved in the post-Greenspan era?
Please join our distinguished speakers on November 3 at the Cato Institute to discussthe role of monetary institutions in promoting development. We will address the challenges facing policymakers as they confront an evolving global economy that shows signs of growing imbalances and protectionism.
