Monetary Policy and Central Banking: Challenges in the Current Environment

Dear Colleagues,

The objectives and functions of central banks have changed significantly over time, and large questions are currently being posed regarding future activities. This Special Issue looks at the extent to which topics such as inequality, green central banking, and central bank digital currencies should be integrated with more traditional concerns for economic performance. Do modern, complex problems require broader consideration for the social impact of policy decisions? Or should central banks be more mission-focused? By surveying a range of contemporary central bank performances, encompassing a broad geographic scope, we can identify, analyse, and assess areas of success and failure.
