The lecture is part of the Former Governors’ Series, which brings former governors of Central Banks to give their views on the economic outlook and on pressing global issues. Kugler’s Lecture will focus on how the U.S. economy and monetary policy have evolved in response to geopolitical developments over the past few years.

The event will be chaired by Professor Ricardo Reis.

She was the U.S. Executive Director of the World Bank from 2022 to 2023 and received the U.S. Treasury’s Chase Award for her contributions to the multilateral development system.
