The webinar will focus on the driving forces behind the monetary policy decisions of central banks in the JVI region during the pandemic. The speakers will exchange on the identification of, and monetary policy reaction to, supply and demand shocks. More specifically, the following issues will be covered:

·        •  The reasons behind the changing interest rate trajectories during the pandemic.

·        •  Central bankers’ views on the temporary vs. longer-term effects of certain shocks, in particular: (i) the factors behind the recent jump in energy prices, their effect on inflation expectations; (ii) supply chain disruptions and their country-specific effects on the real economy; and (iii) the stabilizing nature of fiscal policy actions early in the pandemic and the direction of future fiscal policy measures (withdrawal of support vs. further expansion and debt accumulation).

·       •   The role of the exchange rate in delivering price stability.
