Talking Economics: What Next for Central Banks? Jagjit Chadha and Huw Pill
Is there really a looming debt crisis? If so, what can our central banks do about it?
In the third installment of our Festival of Economics series on ‘What’s Next for Central Banks?’, we’re delighted to welcome back Jagjit Chadha, director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, and Huw Pill, Chief Economist at the Bank of England.
In an event chaired by Anna Valero, the pair will reflect on the last year of activity for our central banks and look ahead at what’s to come – and what challenges the UK must confront. This will include discussion of the effects of rising interest rates, the decisions ahead for the Monetary Policy Committee and where the UK’s monetary policy might be headed over the medium and long term.
Jagjit S. Chadha is Director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR). Previously he was Professor of Economics at the University of Kent and Professor of Economics at the University of St Andrews, and Fellow at Clare College, Cambridge.
Huw Pill is the Chief Economist and Executive Director for Monetary Analysis and Research at the Bank of England. He is a member of the Monetary Policy Committee. Huw is responsible for the analysis used to make monetary policy decisions. He also leads the research that supports all other functions.
Dr Anna Valero is a Distinguished Policy Fellow at the LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance, Director of the CEP’s Growth Programme, Deputy Director of the Programme on Innovation and Diffusion (POID) and an Associate of the Grantham Research Institute.
Pay What You Feel
This event is part of our new ticket pricing structure where we ask people to pay what they feel they can afford in accordance with their means. Read more about it here. Read on for the ticket prices for this event.
One free carer ticket can be booked at the same time for a paying disabled visitor. If you need to book more than one, please contact us before booking to arrange.
Pay It Forward
The Pay It Forward option enables you to book a ticket above the standard price, and will help to subsidise a ticket for someone who requires the Pay What You Can option. This option is aimed at people who are able to meet their basic needs and would like to help somebody else with the cost of their ticket.
- Is this for me? – I have access to a regular and stable income and I have the means and desire to contribute towards making the event affordable for others and supporting Bristol Ideas.
Recommended
This recommended price is based on what we’d traditionally charge for a similar event. It helps us make sure that basic costs are covered. This price is aimed at people who are able to meet their basic needs and have enough to live on.
- Is this for me? – I have access to a regular and disposable income, and I can comfortably afford the recommended ticket price.
Supported
This option is lower than the recommended price. It is subsidised by Bristol Ideas and fellow audience members who have booked at the Pay It Forward rate. This price is aimed at people who could do with support to get by.
- Is this for me? – My access to income is low and unstable and I worry about meeting my basic needs. I would select a concession rate due to my personal circumstances.
