Prague, September 25-26, 2025

CALL FOR PAPERS

Czech National Bank Congress Centre (The Commodity Exchange), Senovážné nám. 30, Prague 1

The Czech National Bank is pleased to announce the Second Annual CNB Conference on monetary policy and financial stability. Following the success of last year’s event, this conference aims to foster an open forum where researchers can present new theoretical and empirical work, exchange views, and receive feedback from both fellow academics and central bank professionals. In an era defined by strong inflationary pressures, escalating trade wars, mounting fiscal spending on defence, and waning European competitiveness, central banks are exploring more adaptive monetary strategies while preserving financial stability. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Heterogeneity and Monetary Policy Transmission
  • Inflation Dynamics and the Role of Fiscal Policy
  • Macroprudential Policy in a High-Interest-Rate Environment
  • International Spillovers of Monetary Policy and the Implications for SOEs
  • Trade Costs, Tariffs, and Global Supply Chain Disruptions
  • New Challenges for Central Banking, including Geopolitical Changes, AI, and Climate Change

The workshop will include keynote speech by Hélene Rey (London Business School, CEPR, NBER) and Guido Ascari (De Nederlandsche Bank and University of Pavia).

Authors are invited to submit theoretical and empirical papers on the aforementioned topics. Submissions should consist of either a full paper or an extended abstract and should be send to research@cnb.cz.

The submission deadline is May 15, 2025.

Authors of accepted papers will be notified by June 6, 2025.

The conference will be held in person at the Czech National Bank in Prague, Czech Republic. Economy class travel expenses and accommodation (both subject to price limits) may be covered for academic speakers. Participants from central banks are expected to cover their own travel expenses.
