Today, at a time when the eurozone economy is slowing and interest rates are at record levels, a number of southern member countries, such as Italy and Spain, have significantly higher debt levels than they had at the time of the 2010 eurozone debt crisis. Join AEI’s Desmond Lachman and experts as they discuss what the Greek experience might teach policymakers about how to avoid another eurozone sovereign debt crisis. They will also examine how to best handle such a crisis if it were to occur.

One year after the Silicon Valley Bank failure required a Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation bailout, the US banking system is being challenged by large interest rate–related mark-to-market losses on its bond portfolio and a looming commercial property–sector crisis. What was the Fed’s role in these developments, and what should it do now?

Over the past year, US headline inflation has declined from a peak of over 9 percent to 3 percent. At around 3.5 percent, unemployment has remained close to a postwar low, while the Federal Reserve has moved away from its earlier zero interest rate policy to the most aggressive tightening cycle in the past 40 years. Our expert panel will discuss whether the Fed has succeeded in producing a soft economic landing and will examine the remaining risks to the economy and the financial system.
