The 5th Simulation Conference of the European Central Bank took place from December 10 to 13, 2021, highlighting for the fifth consecutive year the role of the ECB in the European economy and contemporary economic developments in the Eurozone. More specifically, the agenda of this year’s conference was:
- The impact of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) factors on the European financial sector.
