Target participants include central bankers and other government officials, along with experts from think tanks, academia, and international organizations.
A deeper understanding of the factors influencing the conduct of monetary policy in emerging Asian economies, fostering dialogue and support for the development of monetary policy and research, research papers presented at the workshop may be considered for publication in a special issue of a journal listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), are the anticipated outcomes of this workshop.
