Workshop on International Capital Flows and Financial Policies

The Bank of England, Banque de France, IMF, Banca d’Italia, and the OECD have announced a call for papers for the sixth annual workshop on International Capital Flows and Financial Policies. The workshop will be held on 24 September 2025 at the Banque de France in Paris.

In simple words, Bank of England, Banque de France, IMF, Banca d’Italia, and the OECD are organizing a workshop (conference) in Paris on 24 September 2025. They are inviting researchers, economists, and academics to submit full research papers on topics such as monetary policy, trade, climate change, crypto, and global debt markets. Accepted authors will get to present their work at the event, alongside policymakers and financial experts.

The aim of this workshop is to explore key issues affecting international capital flows. Discussions will look at both short-term (cyclical) factors—like inflation-driven monetary policy changes in advanced economies—and long-term (structural) drivers, such as:

• A more fragmented international financial system
• The growing role of non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs)
• Digitalization of finance
• Climate change and transition risks
• Trade policies and geopolitics

The workshop will also focus on the policy tools needed to manage volatility in capital flows and reduce related risks.

The one-day event will bring together academics and policymakers. It will include a keynote address and a high-level panel discussion on challenges in capital flows and financial stability.

Suggested Topics for Papers

Authors are invited to submit empirical or theoretical papers on themes such as:

• International capital flows and exchange rates in a fragmented global economy
• The impact of tariffs and geopolitics on capital flows
• The role of NBFIs in spreading global shocks
• Effects of climate change and transition risks on capital flows
• Global aspects of crypto, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies
• Monetary policy, interest rate fluctuations, and debt burdens
• The importance of safe assets, sovereign debt, and bond markets in shaping the monetary system
• Capital flow management during crises and its interaction with other macroeconomic policies
