Why are CESEE’s monetary regimes the way they are? How have they performed, and what makes a regime “right” for a country? Looking ahead, how can monetary regimes assist in addressing the economic challenges countries are likely to face? If a country’s current exchange rate regime seems suboptimal, could it switch, and how? WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [http://wiiw.ac.at/taking-stock-of-monetary-and-exchange-regimes-in-emerging-...] FOR THE EVENT. PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF CHARGE.
