Fiscal policy and fiscal-monetary policy interdependence are central for the macroeconomic stability of South Africa and its future development and growth. In this workshop, distinguished international and local experts will explore current research on how monetary and fiscal policy interact with each other.
- What does this mean theoretically and empirically?
- How does this affect the cost of debt services, government debt and interest rates in South Africa?
- How does this impact macroeconomic factors such as trade and the fiscal multiplier?
- What role has the Covid-19 pandemic played in this regard? The Virtual Workshop is chaired by Romain Houssa (University of Namur, Belgium) and Nicola Viegi (University of Pretoria, South Africa) and takes place over three days.
