The Future of Central Banking

Edited By Robert Pringle and Claire Jones

The financial crisis destroyed the consensus – at least among central bankers in the West – about how best to do central banking.

The Future of Central Banking, a new book from Central Banking Publications, draws on leading industry experts to describe and analyse the new world facing central bankers.

A world of dysfunctional markets, contagious crises, sovereign risk and increased policy intervention.

The Future of Central Banking, edited by central banking experts Robert Pringle and Claire Jones, offers insights into how the profession can best handle the challenges this much-changed world will present.

Written from the policymakers perspective, in-depth chapters draw policy lessons for those facing new demands from macroprudential supervision, global imbalances, increased supervisory responsibility and changed relations with governments and stakeholders.
