About this Event

Sustainable development cannot advance without financial stability— and central banks are the cornerstone of that stability. Yet their role is becoming increasingly complex. Rising capital flow volatility, the emergence of AI and digital technologies, the rapid growth of fintech players, growing geopolitical tensions and compounding domestic and international shocks are all rewriting the rules of monetary governance. At the same time, the role of international institutions — from the IMF to the World Bank and beyond — in shaping Africa's financial and economic future has never been more contested or consequential. How should central banks in developing economies adapt to these pressures? And what does this moment demand of Africa, collectively, as it charts its own path forward?

On Monday, April 27 from 3:30-5:00 PM, join us for an in-person fireside chat to explore these questions and more featuring Dr. Patrick Njoroge, MLK, Jr. and Phyllis Wallace Visiting Scholar at the MIT School of Management and ninth Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. Co-hosted by the Boston University Global Development Policy Center, Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies and the African Studies Center, the event will feature a moderated fireside chat and opportunities for audience Q&A.
