CATO’S 33RD ANNUAL MONETARY CONFERENCE —will bring together leading policymakers and scholars to rethink monetary policy after more than six years of unconventional central bank policy following the 2008 global financial crisis. Topics include:

• What Monetary Policy Can and Can’t Do
• Inflation, Deflation, and Monetary Rules
• Monetary Policy and the Knowledge Problem
• The Fed’s Exit Strategy vs. Fundamental Reform

Since the 2008 financial crisis, there has been a convergence of monetary policies by major central banks aimed at keeping benchmark interest rates near zero and supporting asset prices in the hope of stimulating economic growth. Yet global growth is still sluggish and the risk of asset bubbles is mounting. The distinguished speakers at this conference will consider the risks of unconventional monetary policy, the steps that need to be taken to normalize policy, and the fundamental question of rules versus discretion in the conduct of monetary policy.

Please join our distinguished speakers on Thursday, November 12, to discuss these and related issues.
