A conference titled The uncertain future of global economic integration was held in Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center, Reykjavik, Iceland on 14-15 September 2017. The conference was jointly organised by the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee and the Central Bank of Iceland. The aim of the conference was to assess the current state and future of global economic and financial integration and to analyse how individual country responses on the one hand and reforms to the international monetary and financial systems on the other hand might affect that future.
