Anna Breman awarded an honorary doctorate at the Lund University School of Economics and Management
On Friday, First Deputy Governor Anna Breman will be awarded an honorary doctorate at the Lund University School of Economics and Management. In connection with the nomination, she will give a lecture on monetary policy decision-making.
Date: 30/05/2024 13:00
Speaker: First Deputy Governor Anna Breman
Place: Lund University
”I am deeply honoured to be awarded an honorary doctorate from the Lund University School of Economics and Management. The Riksbank is both a public authority and a bank. And, we are also part of the research community. This is what enables our work to ‘translate economic theory into practical policy in difficult economic situations’. That is the essence of monetary policy decision-making’.”
In her lecture, Breman focuses on three aspects of monetary policy decision-making that are closely interlinked:
• Central bank governance – what is the intention behind having monetary policy decisions made by a committee?
• The risk of groupthink – how do we avoid it in monetary policy decisions?
• Preparing for future challenges – how do we foster an open and constructive discussion on monetary policy?
