European Safe Asset: How to Make it Work?
EUROPEAN SAFE ASSET: HOW TO MAKE IT WORK?
IGIER Policy Workshop
Friday, October 25th 2019
2:30 - 4:30 pm
Aula Perego (first floor), Via Sarfatti 25
Many academics and policymakers advocate the creation of a European Safe Asset as a way to promote a fully integrated European financial market. Such asset, the argument goes, could become a global store of value and reduce financial asymmetries between the European core and the periphery. The workshop seeks to understand if and how these goals can be met, also in light of technical and political constraints.
