Annual Research Conference on Economic Policies during Wartime and Post-War Recovery organized jointly by the National Bank of Ukraine and Narodowy Bank Polski.
The full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has resulted in huge human losses and massive economic damage. Through its targeted destruction of public infrastructure and private capital, russia has damaged the foundation of Ukraine’s economy still reeling after the COVID19 pandemic. The ensuing internal displacement and emigration further reinforce the loss of productive capacity. Swift action by key policy institutions and international support have limited and partially reversed the negative effects of war. Much work remains to be done to restore the long-term potential of the Ukrainian economy while rebuilding damaged cities and communities.
The 7th Annual Research Conference jointly organized by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and Narodowy Bank Polski (NBP) will focus on the design and implementation of policies to support the economy during the war and to facilitate recovery after the war. Considering a broad range of topics, from monetary policy and financial stability tradeoffs in a period of long and persistent shocks to optimal communication and FX market interventions to interactions of fiscal and monetary authorities, the event will explore various policy designs and their associated long-term costs and benefits.
The two-day event, taking place in Kraków (Poland), will feature keynotes, policy panels and presentations of research papers in a blended online/onsite format.
Confirmed keynote speakers are Boris Vujčić, Governor of the Croatian National Bank, and Barry Eichengreen, the George C. Pardee and Helen N. Pardee Professor of Economics and Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
