Central Banking in Times of Crisis: Lessons from Ukraine

How do central banks respond when crisis becomes the new normal? Join the Institute of Politics and the Harvard Kennedy School Ukrainian Caucus for a morning conversation with Andriy Pyshnyy, Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, on the challenges of managing monetary policy and financial stability during a time of unprecedented disruption. Drawing on recent experience, the discussion will explore how central banks respond to severe economic shocks, maintain confidence in the financial system, and navigate long-term uncertainty. 


The conversation will also touch on cooperation with international partners such as the IMF, the role of financial sanctions, and broader global economic trends. This event offers a unique opportunity to gain real-time insights into economic leadership and institutional resilience under extraordinary conditions.

Note: This event will take place in English and Ukrainian.
