Jun 14, 2022 15:30 - 17:00 CET (UTC+01:00)

Tuesday, 14 June 2022; online via WebEx

On 14 June, the ECB will publish its 21st Report on the International Role of the Euro. In this webinar, ECB experts will present key findings. Renowned researchers will discuss, among other things, the question whether the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the Western economic and financial sanctions may have longer-term implications on the role of various reserve currencies and on the international monetary system at large. Participants are encouraged to actively engage in the discussion, ask questions and bring in their own views.

Welcome and moderation by Ernest Gnan, SUERF Secretary General and OeNB
