Antoine Martin, senior vice-president at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, François Haas, chief representative of the Banque de France for the Americas, and Giovanni Majnoni, chief representative of the Banca d’Italia for North America, will discuss the monetary policy implementation frameworks, the Fed’s current floor system and other related topics.
