Global Central Banks Confront Inflation and Growth Challenges at Tokyo Symposium
Central bankers from the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and other major institutions convened in Tokyo for a high-stakes symposium hosted by the Bank of Japan. The two-day gathering at BOJ headquarters tackles mounting inflationary pressures and shifting policy landscapes under the theme "New Challenges for Monetary Policy."
Unlike the Fed’s Jackson Hole retreat, Japan’s version emphasizes academic rigor and policy depth. Participants including the Bank of Canada and Reserve Bank of Australia face a transformed economic environment where traditional tools may no longer suffice. Tariff wars and supply chain disruptions have compounded the inflation puzzle.
