The Center for Monetary Studies of FGV’s Brazilian Institute of Economics (IBRE) will host the Fourth Annual Monetary Policy Seminar, on May 21, at 2 p.m., with some of the most renowned experts on the subject. The event will be held at FGV’s Cultural Center in Rio de Janeiro.

The monetary policy of the last two years resulted in low inflation and well-anchored inflationary expectations. In addition to the actions by the Central Bank of Brazil, what other factors contributed to these results? What measures could contribute to the consolidation of these achievements? What are the main threats? How should the Central Bank act regarding current uncertainties? According to José Júlio Senna, head of IBRE’s Center for Monetary Studies and the event’s organizer, these are some of the questions the lecturers will address during the event.  

The meeting will consist of two sections. In the first, lecturers will discuss monetary policy restrictions. José Júlio Senna will examine the international environment and FGV professor Sérgio Werlang will address institutional issues. The panel will also include Carlos Kawall, from Banco Safra, who will address operational issues, and Ricardo Ribeiro, from MCM Consultores, who will discuss the political scenario.

In the second section, each of the panelists will present their view of the theme ‘The future of monetary policy in Brazil’. This section’s lecturers include Affonso Celso Pastore, from AC Pastore & Associados; Afonso Bevilaqua, from PUC-Rio; Luiz Fernando Figueiredo, from Mauá Capital; and Eduardo Loyo, from Banco BTG Pactual.
