Inflation Conference in Frankfurt to Address Global Economic Pressures
Frankfurt, Monday, 15 September 2025.
The upcoming Inflation: Drivers and Dynamics Conference in Frankfurt will gather experts to tackle global inflation challenges, potentially influencing future monetary policies.
Key Themes and Discussions
The Inflation: Drivers and Dynamics Conference scheduled for September 29-30, 2025, in Frankfurt, Germany, is a pivotal event organized by the Center for Inflation Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in collaboration with the European Central Bank (ECB) [1]. The conference will cover a range of topics crucial for understanding the current inflationary pressures affecting global economies. Sessions such as ‘Pricing and Production Networks,’ ‘Inflation Expectations,’ ‘Firm Pricing Theories,’ and ‘Trade and Inflation’ are designed to delve into the underlying factors driving inflation and the implications for monetary policy [1].
Influence on Monetary Policy
The conference is particularly significant as it comes at a time when central banks worldwide are grappling with high inflation rates and the resulting economic challenges. Discussions at the event are expected to influence future monetary policy decisions by providing a platform for leading economists and policymakers to exchange insights and strategies. A notable highlight is the keynote address by Christiane Baumeister from the University of Notre Dame, who will present on ‘Oil, Inflation Expectations and Household Characteristics: A Nonlinear Heterogenous Agent VAR Approach’ [1]. Such discussions are critical, given the complex interplay between energy prices, inflation expectations, and household economic behavior.
Global Attendance and Impact
The conference will host participants from various central banks, including representatives from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank, among others [1]. These institutions play a crucial role in shaping monetary policy across different regions, and their collaboration at this conference underscores the global nature of inflationary challenges. The policy panel featuring notable figures such as Beth M. Hammack of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Philip R. Lane of the ECB will further explore strategies for mitigating inflation’s impact [1].
Future Implications
As global economies continue to navigate the repercussions of recent inflationary surges, the insights gained from the conference are expected to guide policymakers in crafting informed and effective monetary policies. The emphasis on inflation expectations, pricing theories, and trade dynamics will provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the root causes of inflation [1]. By fostering a collaborative environment for research and policy discussion, the conference aims to contribute to stabilizing global inflationary trends and enhancing economic resilience.
