It was a pleasure attending the 18th South-Eastern European Economic Research Workshop, hosted by the Bank of Albania. It was an insightful two-day conference with many interesting papers presented. I had the opportunity to share my recent work on Deconstructing Monetary Policy Surprises and whether systematic changes at the Monetary Policy Committee matter. I would like to extend my thanks to the organisers for such a well-executed event Elona Dushku and Director of Research at the Bank of Albania Altin Tanku for fostering a rich exchange of ideas in the field.
