Managing Financial Risks in a Shock Prone World - Lessons from the past and challenges ahead
November 17, 2022, Tokyo, Japan
The COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, and high inflation are testing the resilience of the global economy and financial systems. We must prepare for these new challenges to secure financial stability. The IMF, together with The University of Tokyo’s Center for Advanced Research in Finance (CARF), hosted the policy conference “Managing Financial Risks in a Shock Prone World” in hybrid format to bring together veteran and current policymakers and researchers from around the world to offer their insights on how to best manage financial risks and avoid financial crisis.
