According to ChainCatcher and Jintai News, the Bank of Japan's two-day annual conference will open in Tokyo this Tuesday (27th), similar to the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole central bank meeting. Renowned scholars and central bank officials from the US, Europe, and Asia (including New York Fed President Williams) will attend, focusing on two concerning realities: weak economic growth and persistently high inflation.
Although most presentations are academic and not open to media, this year's theme is "New Challenges Facing Monetary Policy", particularly how central banks should respond to ongoing inflation, economic downturn risks, market volatility, and US tariffs. One session will focus on "Reserve Demand, Interest Rate Control, and Quantitative Tightening". Another session will discuss an IMF paper published last December titled "Monetary Policy and Inflation Panic".
