1st Joint Bank of England - Banque de France – IMF – OECD Workshop on International Capital Flows and Financial Policies

The objective of the workshop is to understand the benefits and risks of global capital flows and advance the debate on the appropriate financial policy toolkit. The workshop will be held at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the workshop initially planned on 22 April is tentatively postponed to 21 October (TBC). The meeting will take place back-to-back with the meeting of the Advisory Task Force on the OECD Codes of Liberalisation (ATFC).

Programme

• Going beyond traditional statistics: mapping of capital flows and policy implications; in particular, research that tries to identify the “ultimate investor”, and that may also cover policy issues related to tax evasion, FDI, and profit-shifting.

• The changing composition of flows: the shift away from banks to non-banks and corporates and financial stability implications.

• Surges, stops and “normals” for capital flows. The optimal policy mix in the face of spillovers and its effectiveness of tackling capital flow volatility.

• Financial integration or fragmentation, capital controls, and pre-conditions for further liberalisation.

There is no registration fee for the workshop. Limited funds for presenters from academic institutions (excluding central banks and institutions) are available. Please communicate if you require financial assistance for travel and accommodation.
