The green agenda and its impact on monetary and macroeconomic policies

Climate change and its impact on the global economy represent a crucial global challenge. That is why it is essential that the green transition becomes an inevitable part of the actions of economic policies, the financial sector, businesses and individuals.

In this light, we are also addressing the challenge within the ECB and central banks. Climate change is already affecting our economies and financial systems, and consequently price and financial stability, which are at the centre of our mandates.

Banka Slovenije was hosting Pierre Wunsch, Governor of the Belgian Central Bank. In his lecture entitled The green agenda and its impact on monetary and macroeconomic policies, Governor Wunsch discussed the technological feasibility and cost of climate neutrality. His analysis included both fiscal and monetary policy, and it drew overall lessons for competitiveness and industrial policy in the EU.

The event was opened by the Governor of the Banka Slovenije, Boštjan Vasle.
