About this Event
The ecological transition requires a fundamental transformation of our economies, and with it, financial flows. Historically, the key macroeconomic institutions - central banks and ministries of finance – coordinated together and with other government ministries to steer private credit & finance markets to achieve structural economic change.
Today, the dominant policy narrative relies on the private sector to lead the pace and direction of the green transition. Policy interventions by financial authorities are limited to mandate-relevant actions that support price- and financial stability. This session will critically examine this consensus and consider alternative macrofinancial arrangements, including reforms at the global level, that could more effectively steer economies towards sustainable well-being.
Join our expert panel including Josh Ryan-Collins, Associate Professor in Economics and Finance at UCL IIPP, Daniela Gabor, Professor of Economics and Macro-Finance at UWE, Katie Kedward, Senior Research Fellow at UCL IIPP, Nadia Ameli, Principal Research Fellow at UCL Insitute for Sustainable Resources and Romain Svartzman, Research Fellow at Bocconi University’s Institute for European Policymaking, among others to be announced to discuss microfinance and the ecological transition.
This event is part of the IIPP Forum 2024 'Rethinking the State' taking place on 12th and 13th June 2024. The Forum will explore new approaches to drive transformative public policy in the era of climate emergency. Find out more about the other sessions .
