How do central banks keep economies stable in turbulent times? What role do they play when markets move fast, climate risks rise, or banking stability is threatened? This public lecture series by the School of Economics and Political Science (SEPS-HSG) explores these key issues. It opens with Monetary Policy: Implementation and Transmission via Financial Markets, where two experts from the Swiss National Bank (SNB) explain how policy decisions are implemented and transmitted to businesses and households. The second lecture, Climate Change and Central Banking, addresses how climate risks increasingly affect financial and price stability. An SNB expert discusses how central banks are adapting. The final lecture, Monetary Policy and Financial Stability, by a representative of the Bank for International Settlements, examines how central banks can balance price stability with financial resilience.
