The International Journal of Central Banking (IJCB) is organising its 2022 annual conference, “The New Financial Landscape for Central Banks”. The conference will be hosted by the Bank of Canada in Ottawa on 10-11 August 2022. The programme committee comprises Tobias Adrian, Huberto Ennis, Elena Loutskina, Fernanda Nechio and Steven Ongena.
Over the past few years, the financial landscape for central banks globally has changed in at least two fundamental ways. First, the extraordinary interventions by central banks and governments in response to COVID-19 have affected the liquidity and balance sheet positions of the private and financial sectors in a major way. This raises many questions about the impact of such policies on the investment and financing decisions of private individuals, corporations, financial institutions, and investment funds alike, and the potential financial stability risks and side effects on financial markets such policies create, including if and when central bank liquidity support is withdrawn. Second, climate change and the transition to a green economy will require major shifts in resource allocation and the way these resources are financed. This raises many questions about the impact of climate change on the financial system and pricing in financial markets, the role that central banks play in the development of climate finance and the role of banking supervision in greening the financial sector. This conference will bring together leading economists from central banks, academia and other research institutions to discuss new results and policy lessons pertaining to these two broad areas of interest. Papers that do not speak directly to central banks but to the topics of liquidity and balance sheets or climate finance more generally will also be considered.
TOPICS: We seek both empirical and theoretical policy-relevant papers. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
– The effect of central bank interventions on liquidity and balance sheets
– The impact of central bank interventions on financial markets and financial stability
– The international transmission of global liquidity shocks
– Central bank purchases of green assets
– Bank supervision and climate risks
– Sustainable finance
– Green certification, and the role of transparency and disclosure of green exposures
