How Financial Systems Work: Evidence from Financial AccountsRome, 30 November - 1 December 2017

The conference ‘How Financial Systems Work: Evidence from Financial Accounts’ will take place on 30 November and 1 December, 2017 at the headquarters of the Bank of Italy in Rome.

The purpose is to show how financial accounts  may be used in a wide range of fields. Financial accounts, produced for Italy by the Banca d’Italia, cover all financial transactions and financial balance sheet positions of households, non-financial corporations, financial corporations and general government, as well as their relations with the rest of the world.

Financial accounts can be used to study issues such as the composition of households’ savings and wealth, the quantity and composition of funds raised by enterprises and general government, and the evolution of financial structures.

Keynote lectures will be given by Prof. John Muellbauer (Nuffield College, Oxford), Gabriel Quiros (IMF) and Peter van de Ven (OECD). Participants will include academics as well as members of central banks and international institutions.
