Event Detail
College of Central Bankers Executive Briefing: Central Bank Independence
Central Bank Independence: What can central bank do to ensure independence and credibility? Central banks have come under criticism for having adopted financial stability measures (e.g., emergency liquidity assistance that has raised their balance sheets), for having taken an aggressive stance fighting inflation and orchestrate a slowdown in growth, and for having expanded their mandate (e.g., financial inclusion, climate change), to cite a few examples.
