Johns Hopkins SAIS expert available to discuss Brexit, IMF and World Bank spring meetings
MEDIA ADVISORY
Global finance and trade have come to the forefront this week as a result of the latest developments with Brexit and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank spring meetings taking place in Washington, D.C. Director of European and Eurasian Studies Erik Jones at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) is available to share his insights on these topics.
Jones recently co-wrote “Rethinking central bank independence,” for the Journal of Democracy, arguing that it is useful for central banks to be independent from political oversight, while there are other times when central bankers must execute policies that are more overtly political.
