Background and Objective: Macroeconomic policy in emerging markets is facing the multiple challenges of an uncertain global environment, high world interest rates, and a limited fiscal space after unprecedented global shocks. At the same time emerging markets are becoming increasingly important both as determinants of the world economic outlook and centers of policy innovation and experimentation.
The 3rd Macroeconomic Policy in Emerging Markets Workshop is dedicated to exploring and discussing research on the challenges to macroeconomic policy in emerging markets, the policy options available to them and the best ways to inform and monitor policy.
