The Central Bank of Iceland organised an international conference on the preservation of monetary and financial stability at Reykjavík’s Grand Hotel on 12 July 2019. The conference, entitled Looking back and looking forward: How do we preserve monetary and financial stability?, was split into two sessions, each with its own focus and discussion topics.
The former session focused on the experience of small European countries that have collaborated with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the wake of severe difficulties stemming from the financial crisis, on governmental authorities’ actions, and on the recovery of their respective economies.
The latter session centred on where we stand in improving financial stability frameworks and reforming financial regulation after the Great Financial Crisis.
The agenda, the speakers’ speeches or slide presentations, and a video of the proceedings can be found below.
