How To Get Back On Track: Central Bank Balance Sheets | Hoover Institution

May 12, 2023 Hoover Institution | Stanford University The Hoover Institution hosts How To Get Back On Track: A Policy Conference on Friday, May 12, 2023. Our theme this year, "How to Get Back on Track," follows up on last year’s “How Monetary Policy Got Behind the Curve.” A key goal of the conference is to examine how to get back on track and, thereby, how to reduce the inflation rate without slowing down economic growth. The policy issue is largely international, with special discussions of Asia, Europe, and Latin America. This is a policy-oriented conference consisting of formal presentations, policy panels, and indepth discussions. The conference builds on previous Hoover monetary policy conferences going back fifteen years, from the 2008 conference up to the 2022 conference. Read about our 15-year milestone here. Background papers will be provided in advance of the conference.
