On behalf of the Bank of Finland let me welcome you to this conference on Monetary Policy in the Post-Pandemic Era, jointly organized by the Bank of Finland and the Centre for Economic Policy Research. Our collaboration with the CEPR in organizing annual conferences has a long and successful history.
We very much appreciate this cooperation and naturally we hope and expect that it will continue for many years to come. We have already heard some excellent talks this morning, and we can look forward to more presentations by leading experts in the field later on, including Benjamin Moll, Sydney Ludvigson and Martin Schneider.
