JVI Newsletter ▪ September 2024

Dear Friends of the JVI, We hope you enjoyed the summer season and had the opportunity to take a well-deserved break. As you will see in this newsletter, there was no summer slowdown at the JVI! The course on Non-Performing Loan Management and Resolution focused on countries in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, with many experienced bank supervisors participating. A new course on Gender Inequality and Macroeconomics underscored the significant macroeconomic repercussions of gender inequality and the importance of considering institutional frameworks when designing policy responses. Another new course on High-Frequency Indicators of Economic Activity highlighted how such indicators can be compiled to enhance short-term economic monitoring and policymaking. The course on Public-Private Cooperation for the Green and Digital Transition, which is also new, stood out for its interdisciplinary approach, bringing together professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise to address the challenges and opportunities of the green and digital transition. Finally, a webinar introduced the IMF’s new Data Adequacy Assessment Framework.  We hope that you will be able to join us in the Conference on Building Resilience and Managing Financial Crises, a hybrid event on September 18, which the JVI is co-organizing with the OeNB, SUERF, and the Yale Program on Financial Stability. Finally, we are happy to announce the JVI 2024 Annual Lecture on October 16. It will be delivered by Prof. Anton Korinek, who will talk about Labor Market Challenges in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback of any kind, please write us a note at jvi@jvi.org. Many thanks to Rilind Kabashi, our Editor, Maša Valenko, and all the contributors to this Newsletter.  Hervé Joly Director, Joint Vienna Institute
