Fiscal influences over macro-financial stability

Time: 6.30-7.45pm

Speaker: Pablo Hernández de Cos

Chair: Ricardo Reis, A.W. Phillips Professor of Economics

Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building, LSE Campus

Event Details: In many advanced economies, large public deficits co-exist today together with the legacy public debt from the pandemic. This lecture will discuss how this situation affects macro-financial stability, how it puts strains on the financial sector, and how it constrains macroeconomic policy. There are both local and global components to this challenge, which put the international financial system at the centre of any of the possible scenarios.
