Event

The Role of Reserves and Central Bank Operations in the Financial System (postponed)

New York Fed and Columbia SIPA Monetary Policy Implementation Workshop
April 02, 2020
Overview

Money markets have been operating with abundant reserves since the financial crisis. Changes in market practices and regulations have altered the way that financial firms manage their liquidity, with profound implications for central bank frameworks and liquidity provision.

This workshop brings together international experts in monetary policy design and implementation—academics, industry experts, and current and former central bankers—to discuss how central banks can effectively implement policy in this new environment.

The program will focus on how central banks ensure monetary control and market functioning in an environment with higher and less certain demand for reserves and increased frictions to liquidity distribution.

This event is jointly sponsored by Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
