Central Banks Address New Monetary Policy Challenges at Tokyo Conference

According to BlockBeats, the annual conference hosted by the Bank of Japan is set to commence this Tuesday in Tokyo, resembling the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium. The event will gather prominent scholars and central bank officials from the U.S., Europe, and Asia, including New York Federal Reserve President John Williams. The focus will be on two pressing issues: sluggish economic growth and persistent inflation. While most presentations are academic and closed to the media, this year's theme centers on 'New Challenges in Monetary Policy.' Discussions will explore how central banks should tackle ongoing inflation, economic downturn risks, volatile markets, and U.S. tariffs. One session will address 'Reserve Demand, Interest Rate Control, and Quantitative Tightening,' while another will delve into a paper published by the International Monetary Fund last December titled 'Monetary Policy and Inflation Panic.'
