Post by Boston University Global Development Policy Center

🗓️ Join us, Boston University - Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies (Pardee School) and the BU African Studies Center on Monday, April 27 from 3:30-5 PM ET for an in-person fireside chat with Patrick Njoroge, ninth governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. Sustainable development cannot advance without financial stability— and central banks are the cornerstone of that stability. Yet their role is becoming increasingly complex. Rising capital flow volatility, the emergence of AI and digital technologies, the rapid growth of fintech players, growing geopolitical tensions and compounding domestic and international shocks are all rewriting the rules of monetary governance. At the same time, the role of international institutions — from the IMF to the World Bank and beyond — in shaping Africa's financial and economic future has never been more contested or consequential. How should central banks in developing economies adapt to these pressures? And what does this moment demand of Africa, collectively, as it charts its own path forward? The event will explore these questions and more. 🔗 Link to register in the comments.
