15-01-2020

Yet, new challenges await. The ECB President, Ms Christine Lagarde, stated that she sees the general public as the “new frontier” for central bank communications. The Monetary Expert Panel was asked to produce three papers on this topic. This publication is provided by Policy Department A at the request of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON).
