20.02.2023.
José M. González Páramo will participate in the UIE Society and Economy Forum on March 1 at 7:00 p.m. at the Afundación A Coruña Headquarters. The professor of Economics at the Complutense University of Madrid and with highly responsible positions in international organizations, will speak about “The return of inflation. Some lessons for the ECB.” Entry is free until full.
González Páramo, who will be presented by Álvaro Gómez Vieitez, Dean of the UIE Faculty of Economics, will address how the post-pandemic and the consequences of the invasion of Ukraine have returned inflation to four-decade highs. It is difficult to avoid, in his opinion, the conclusion that the ECB and other central banks have been behind events, ignoring the persistence of inflation for more than a year. How could it happen? What effects has this delay had on the credibility and response of the ECB’s monetary policy? In the medium term, both the anti-inflationary fight and the independence of central banks face challenges that could put the benefits to society of these important institutions at risk.
The UIE Society and Economy Forum is a place for debate open to the public both in person and virtually (via Afundacion.tv), you only need to register for the following link:
