Summary

The conduct of monetary policy has become increasingly challenging for emerging Asian economies in recent years because of Russia’s war in Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, unconventional monetary policies and changing interest rates in advanced countries, volatile capital flows, shifts in commodity prices, climate change, and the rise of digital finance and credit intermediation by the nonbank sector. Such developments have elevated the importance of enhancing monetary policy transmission to the real economy and ensuring effective monetary policy coordination with fiscal and macroprudential policy.

Cohosted by the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), Bank Indonesia (BI), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the Asia-Pacific Applied Economics Association (APAEA), this joint research workshop will examine monetary policy, banking and finance, and central banking imperatives across developing Asia and the Pacific.
