Workshop « Central Bank Interventions in the FX Markets : New Developments »

Brussels, 23 June 2006

Jointly organized by the Department of Applied Economics of Université Libre de Bruxelles (DULBEA) and the Center Emile Bernheim (CEB)

Prof. Michel BEINE, Jean-Jacques HEIRWEGH, Kim Oosterlinck and Ariane SZAFARZ

 

 

Over the last two decades, interventions in the FX markets have been widely used as a stabilisation instrument by many central banks. Academics and policy makers have therefore devoted a lot of attention to the analysis of the impact of such an instrument. One of the key questions of the analysis has been the issue of effectiveness of these direct sales and purchases of foreign currency. This workshop aims at giving an overview of the recent developments of the literature in this area. This one-day meeting will include five presentations of leading experts of the field, with discussions provided by economists involved in this research area.
