Macroeconomic seminar organised jointly with 3 universities

With the aim of stimulating macroeconomic and monetary debate and research, the National Bank, in collaboration with the KUL (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven), UCL (Université catholique de Louvain) and ULB (Université libre de Bruxelles), organises regular seminars at which internationally renowned experts in the academic or monetary policy spheres are invited to present their latest work.

The aim of these seminars is not just to provide anyone interested with an opportunity to attend a talk given by an academic expert of international standing but also to benefit from that expert’s expertise during his time at the National Bank, depending on the needs of his colleagues, while also offering a similar benefit to researchers at Belgium’s universities.
