This exercise represents an important step in the direction of engaging Mexican financial institutions to incorporate environmental and social risks into mainstream risk strategy, and to capitalize the market opportunities that result from the transition to a low carbon economy.
As in past years, the organizers have brought together a very impressive list of participants who have made important contributions over the years helping the profession improve the art of monetary policymaking. I would particularly like to express my deepest gratitude to Professor Thomas Sargent for all of his guidance and support in organizing this year’s conference.
