The Japan Edition of the Jackson Hole Central Bank Annual Symposium kicked off in Tokyo on Tuesday.

BlockBeats News, May 27th: The two-day annual conference hosted by the Bank of Japan will open in Tokyo this Tuesday (27th), similar to the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole meeting. Prominent scholars and central bank officials from the US, Europe, and Asia (such as New York Fed President Williams) will attend. The conference will focus on two concerning realities: weak economic growth and persistent high inflation.

While most speeches are academic and not open to the media, this year's theme is "New Challenges Facing Monetary Policy," specifically how central banks should address ongoing inflation, economic slowdown risks, market turmoil, and US tariffs. One session's topic is "Reserve Demand, Interest Rate Control, and Quantitative Tightening." Another session will discuss a paper published by the International Monetary Fund in December last year titled "Monetary Policy and Inflation Panic." (via Kinjun)
