On 15 December, the NBU will hold its regular workshop Monetary Policy in Emerging Markets: Understanding the Causes and Consequences of a New Wave of Inflation. The Ukrainian central bank has been organizing this event for the second year in a row in cooperation with the Euro Area Business Cycle Network (EABCN).
The workshop will bring together economists, experts, and policymakers from central banks, academia, think tanks, and international financial institutions to discuss main drivers of inflation dynamics in emerging markets and additional challenges faced by these countries during the new period of high inflation.

The working language will be English.
