G20 Conference

G20 Global Financial Stability Conference (GFSC) Since 2013, the G20 Global Financial Stability Conference has been bringing together the world’s leading academics, researchers, and experts to share a global look at international finance's current state and discuss key implications and countermeasures. Co-hosted by the Korea Development Institute (KDI) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Korea, this annual event is held back-to-back with the G20 International Finance Architecture Working Group meeting to enable fluid policy dialogues. At the conference, our distinguished speakers from academia, think tanks, and international financial institutions present today’s most pressing concerns of the world economy and discuss our next steps to tackle these barriers to global financial stability.

2024 Global Economy and Financial Stability Conference

  • TIME
  • VENUEThe Plaza Hotel Seoul, Republic of Korea
  • HOSTSMinistry of Economy and Finance (MOEF), KDI, Bank of Korea

Letter of Invitation

The "2024 Global Economy and Financial Stability Conference", jointly organized by the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Korea, the Bank of Korea, the Korea Development Institute (KDI), and the Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee, will be held on September 3 (Tue) - 4 (Wed), 2024 at the Plaza Hotel Seoul.

 

This two-day conference aims to address two main themes: ① Responding to Challenges in the Global Economy, and ② Evolution of the Global Financial Environment and New International Financial System. In particular, it will focus on exploring new economic policy directions amidst consecutive economic crises; ways to enhance trade and investment cooperation amid global supply chain instability; the implications of global monetary policy actions on financial stability, including capital flows and elevated indebtedness between developed and developing countries; and other emerging topics such as Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), the influence of digital finance, and more.

 

This conference will be held in conjunction with the G20 International Financial Architecture Working Group, co-chaired by the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Korea and the Ministry for the Economy and Finance of France. We expect this conference will serve as a meaningful occasion where government and central bank officials, policymakers from G20 member countries, as well as prominent scholars from home and abroad can come together to preemptively diagnose major challenges in the recent global economy and international financial markets while exploring response measures.

 

We kindly ask for your interest and attendance.

Letter of Invitation

The “2023 G20 Global Financial Stability Conference”, co-hosted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MOEF) and the Korea Development Institute, will be held on September 20 (Wed), 2023 at Lotte Hotel Seoul.
 
This conference will address the two themes of ①Challenges of the Global Economy and the International Financial Market in Turbulence, and ②International Financial Diversification and Financial Stability in the Post-Pandemic. In particular, we will delve into the impact of prolonged monetary tightening in major countries on the international financial market, and discuss the reorganization of industrial structure caused by rapid climate change in recent times and its ripple effects. Furthermore, we will explore means to strengthen the global financial safety net amidst the de-globalization trend triggered by the Russia-Ukraine War and worsening Sino-US relations.
 
This conference is being held in connection with the G20 International Financial Architecture Working Group Meeting, co-chaired by the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Korea and the Ministry for the Economy and Finance of France. Accordingly, we expect this conference will serve as a meaningful forum for prominent scholars from home and abroad, and G20 member countries’ policy officials, to come together and make a preemptive diagnosis of major challenges in the recent international financial market while discussing response measures.

Letter of Invitation

We cordially invite you to the G20 Global Financial Stability Conference 2022 scheduled to be held at The Plaza Seoul hotel on Wednesday, September 21, co-hosted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Korea Development Institute. This conference, held in conjunction with the upcoming G20 International Financial Architecture Working Group meeting, will address three main themes: (1) The Global Economic Outlook and the Acceleration of Tightening Monetary Policy, (2) The Role of the Global Financial Safety Net, and (3) The Future of International Financial Architecture.

The conference will examine the impact of the acceleration of tightening monetary policy and geopolitical risks on indebted low-income countries as well as spillovers in international financial markets. It will also explore ways to enhance the governance and efficiency of international financial institutions to strengthen the Global Financial Safety Net.

Furthermore, this conference will analyze the future impact of the growing use of digital assets on financial stability and the resulting shifts in the financial markets. Invaluable insights are to be shared on how the G20 can demonstrate leadership in the context of international financial architecture in tackling global economic challenges including climate change.

We are confident that this conference will serve as a fruitful platform where scholars and G20 policymakers throughout the globe can join together and pool their wisdom to diagnose potential global economic risks and devise countermeasures.
We look forward to welcoming each and every one of you.

Letter of Invitation

We cordially invite you to the G20 Global Financial Stability Conference 2021, co-hosted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Korea Development Institute (KDI) and scheduled to take place on September 7, Tuesday. Considering the recent COVID-19 situation, the conference will be held in a hybrid form (online + on-site).

This conference will cover three main themes : 1) The Global Financial Stability Risks and Policy Coordination in the Pandemic Era, 2) The Digital Currency and their Macro-Financial Implications, and 3) Post-Pandemic International Financial Market and System.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact not only on the real economy such as the global supply chain and consumer behavior patterns, but also on domestic and global financial economy as seen from the increasing instability of global capital flows. In addition, the uneven global economic recovery followed by potential monetary policy normalization in some countries can pose a major threat to the global economy. Furthermore, the emergence of digital currency in line with the acceleration of “Economic Digitization” poses a new challenge for all of us.

This conference will enable various scholars and professionals from home and abroad to examine in-depth policy objects together and discuss strategies to ensure global financial stability and solid economic growth, while preparing for the post-pandemic future of the international financial market and system.

We ask for your strong interest and active participation in this event.

Greetings
 
Since its inception in 2013, the Global Financial Stability Conference has been an international forum for leading financial experts at home and abroad to examine risk factors and consider countermeasures for the global financial system.
 
We’ve reflected on the challenges and achievements during the two crises, the Asian Currency Crisis and the Global Financial Crisis. And we’ve been discussing preemptive measures against newly emerging risk factors that can pose a serious threat to financial stability, from cross-border capital flows to the digital economy.
 
Recently, uncertainties in the global financial market are further growing due to increasing volatility in capital flows, escalating trade tensions and rising geopolitical risks. In particular, trade conflicts and resulting disruptions in the global value chains are identified as the biggest risk factors to potential growth and financial stability of the global economy.
 
As financial crises strike us when problems combine in unpredictable and unforeseen ways, it will be meaningful for us to proactively examine and analyze the impact of various risk factors on global financial stability and discuss appropriate countermeasures.
 
The G20 Global Financial Stability Conference 2019, joined by policy makers at home and abroad, experts from academia and international organizations will discuss challenges to global financial stability and pool our wisdom on the role of the G20 and policy coordination for global financial stability.
 
We cordially invite you to share your insights with us at the Conference.

Letter of Invitation

A decade ago, the world economy faced a financial crisis, considered as the worst since the Great Depression. To overcome the crisis, major countries have employed unprecedented expansionary macroeconomic policies, and have promoted international policy coordination, centered around the G20. Thanks to the efforts, the global economy has bounced back.

However, the uncertainties stemming from normalization of monetary policy and spreading protectionsim are perceived as risk factors in the global market. Also, the advent of digital economy including crypto-assets is likely to pose challenges to financial systems. It is therefore meaningful to identify potential risk factors and proactive countermeasures to global financial stability.

The G20 Global Financial Stability Conference 2018, joined by policymakers and experts from academia and international organizations, will reflect on the roles and achievements of the G20 is overcoming the crisis as well as cross-border capital flows and financial safety nets since then. Moreover, the impact of digital economy on financial stability and considerations for policy coordination will be discussed.

We cordially invite you to share your insights with us.

Letter of Invitation
 
Twenty years have passed since the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997. The Korean economy at the time had experienced unprecedented difficulties, triggered by the sudden outflow of capital and the depletion of foreign exchange reserves. With the concerted efforts of Korean people, however, Korea managed to overcome the crisis, achieving a sound external position and reinforcing its capacities to manage systemic risks.
 
Recently the world economy is showing signs of recovery. However, there are a number of risk factors including the normalization of monetary policy in advanced economies, uncertainties around trade protectionism, and a slowdown of productivity growth. To prevent such risks from precipitating another crisis, pre-emptive measures and cross-border policy coordination are necessary and such efforts shall begin by reviewing the lessons from the past.
 
The Global Financial Stability Conference 2017: The Asian Crisis 20 Years Later will provide a meaningful opportunity to revisit the policy environments and responses of Asian countries twenty years ago and to have in-depth discussions on the global financial system and safety net with policymakers and international finance experts from academia and international organizations. We cordially invite you to the Conference in Seoul, and sincerely hope you will join us.

Greetings

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Global Financial Stability Conference 2016, jointly organized by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of Republic of Korea and Korea Development Institute, held on July 26th at The Westin Chosun Seoul, Korea.
 
The macroeconomic implications of the UK’s Brexit referendum last month were yet another reminder of the increased interconnectivity of the global economy. Many of us have learned over the years that any one political, economic, or social uncertainty, seemingly confined to an individual country, could trigger global financial instability such as rapid capital flows or severe exchange rate fluctuations.
 
In order to safeguard the financial stability of the world economy amidst uncertainties and potential risks, it is essential to build a seamless global financial safety net based on cross-border coordination of macroeconomic policies. In particular, there is an increasing need for comprehensive and in-depth analyses on newly emerging instruments such as regional financial arrangements and capital flow management, in addition to traditional measures such as foreign exchange reserves, currency swaps, and IMF loans. In this context, the upcoming conference will offer a meaningful occasion for policy makers and experts from governments, international organizations, and academia to share research findings and experiences on international capital flows, the global financial safety net and the international monetary system.
 
Once again, we sincerely hope you will join us in Seoul for a meaningful discussion on strengthening the global financial safety net. Thank you for your interest and support.

Invitation

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Global Financial Stability Conference, jointly organized by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of Republic of Korea and Korea Development Institute, to be held on June 22-23 at the Westin Chosun in Seoul, Korea.

While the Fed is eyeing a first rise in interest rates in nearly 10 years, the ECB and BOJ, conversely, are in full loosening mode, having launched a quantitative easing program. Now is the appropriate time to discuss international policy coordination to ensure that the looming Fed’s rate rise does not trigger financial turmoil such as sudden reversal of capital movement and exchange rate fluctuation amid the growing divergence in monetary policies of advanced countries.

In particular, it is important to preemptively set up a multi-layered global financial safety net encompassing multinational institutions globally and regionally, and individual countries’ own defenses. There is an increasing need for an in-depth research and analysis on new emerging instruments such as Regional Financing Arrangements (RFAs) and Capital Flow Management Measures (CFMs) in addition to traditional safety nets such as FX reserves, currency-swap arrangement and IMF loans. In this context, the upcoming conference will be a meaningful occasion to share research findings and experiences of policy makers and experts from International organizations and academia on RFAs and CFMs.

We expect that this conference to help develop concrete, substantial and workable cooperation measures that strengthen the global financial safety net. We look forward to your interest and participation in the Global Financial Stability Conference.

G20 Seoul Conference

  • TIME
  • VENUEThe Shilla Seoul, Republic of Korea
  • HOSTSMinistry of Strategy and Finance of Korea, Australian Treasury
Greetings

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance of Korea and the Australian Treasury are pleased to invite you to the G20 Seoul Conference which will take place in Seoul, Korea, on 18-19 December 2013, just after the G20 Finance and Central Ban Deputies’ Meeting in Canberra on 15-16 December.

The Conference will provide a valuable occasion to recall G20’s achievements and discuss its prospects and visions, to examine how to improve G20 discussions around recent monetary policies of advanced economies, their impact on emerging markets and the range of possible policy responses. It will also provide the opportunity to examine the role of t global safety net, including Regional Financial Arrangements (RFAs).

Speakers and discussants will include government officials and central bankers of the G20 and other countries, staff of international organizations and researchers with extensive knowledge and experiences on this area.

Following the 2008 global financial crisis, decisive actions of central banks across advanced economies significantly red tail risks and supported the global recovery. However, they also had significant spillover effects. We have recently seen a increase in the volatility of capital flows due to expectations of eventual monetary policy recalibration in advanced economies. At this juncture, the Conference would be a timely endeavor to analyze the evidence base for measuring an monitoring this major challenge in the global economy and explore possible policy responses.

It is also appropriate to have a pragmatic and detailed discussion on the global safety net, including the role of RFAs, an how well safety nets have operated. Further, as you might recall, at the last G20 Summit in St Petersburg our leaders as Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors to follow the developments and progress in the IMF-RFA cooperation, as as the dialogue among RFAs. The Conference will be part of an effort to fulfill these commitments. In particular, it will ex ways to enable the sharing of RFA experiences and practices and to facilitate cooperation with the IMF.

We hope that sharing knowledge and experiences during the Conference will result in a more constructive discussion on G20 issues. We look forward to seeing you in Seoul.
