Our theme for this year is “Getting Global Monetary Policy on Track" and it follows up on last year’s theme “How to Get Back on Track," and the previous year’s theme “How Monetary Policy Got Behind the Curve.” A key goal of the conference is to examine how to get back and stay on track and, thereby, how to reduce the inflation rate without slowing down economic growth. This year the key policy issues are largely international, with special discussions of Europe and Asia. This is a policy-oriented conference consisting of formal presentations, policy panels, and in-depth discussions. The conference builds on previous Hoover monetary policy conferences going back many years—you can read about our 15-year milestone here. Background papers will be provided in advance of the conference.
