ISTANBUL, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Some of the world’s most prominent central bankers will attend the Istanbul Economic Forum on Thursday and Friday to discuss inflation, monetary policy and the global economic outlook, the forum’s website said.
The website, compiled by the Turkish Central Bank, said Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, BIS General Manager Pablo Hernández de Cos and Banque de France Governor Emmanuel Moulin are among those due to attend the two-day forum on October 8 to 9.
Other expected attendees include the central bank governors of Greece, the Netherlands, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
In total, 16 central bank governors and eight deputy governors as well as the finance ministers of Turkey and Egypt and officials of international financial institutions are scheduled to join the meeting.
The forum said participants will discuss topics including navigating a fragmenting global economy, monetary policy under uncertainty, debt dynamics, and the implications of artificial intelligence and digital innovation for macroeconomic policy.
The Federal Reserve website included Waller’s planned speech at the conference on its schedule for October 8.
Speeches and panels at the conference are scheduled to be broadcast online by the forum.
