JVI Newsletter ▪ July 2024

Dear Friends of the JVI, We hope this message finds you well, as the summer season is starting. This newsletter reports on recent courses and events held at the JVI. The Exchange Rate Policy course explored a range of topics such as exchange rate analysis and regimes, interactions with other macroeconomic policies, the transition towards more flexible regimes, foreign exchange interventions, reserve adequacy, and currency crises. The new course on Transforming Public Finance Through GovTech discussed digitalization's benefits and the policies necessary to accelerate digital adoption among households, firms, and governments. The Cohort Training on Macroeconomic Analysis and Management was completed last May. Additionally, central bankers from the Caucasus, Central Asia, Moldova, and Mongolia gathered in Vienna for the 9th high-level peer-to-peer workshop. Lastly, this newsletter includes a piece on how JVI economists stay ahead of the curve and make a wider impact. Please make sure to register for the Conference on Building Resilience and Managing Financial Crises, a hybrid event taking place on September 18 and co-organized by the OeNB, SUERF, the Yale Program on Financial Stability, and the JVI! 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
