  • OECD, "Seminar on Capital Movements Agenda,"
    PROGRAMME SEMINAR ON OPEN AND ORDERLY CAPITAL MOVEMENTS Does global co-operation matter? 25 October 2016, OECD, Paris Organised by the OECD in co-operation with Germany (Federal Ministry of Finance) as the upcoming G20 Presidency Open and orderly capital movements: does global co-operation matter? An open, transparent and orderly global system of capital flows underpins global growth and stability. In light of the increasingly interconnected global economy, faced with episodes of heightened capital flows volatility, significant value is attached to credible commitment mechanisms to rules-based and co-operative approaches to capital flows that send a positive signal of a predictable policy agenda. This type of framework will help countries maintain markets’ confidence and continue to attract the long-term, high-quality capital needed to support inclusive growth and sustainable development. The OECD Code of Liberalisation of Capital Movements (the Code) provides such a framework. As an instrument that encourages co-operation, it has provided a tried and tested process for global dialogue for over 50 years. The Code is used by the 35 OECD countries, including emerging economies, as well as by non-OECD countries. Four non-OECD countries have applied for adherence since it was opened to all in 2012. It is a living instrument adaptable to countries at different levels of development, through built-in flexibility clauses that allow temporary suspension of liberalisation commitments in times of economic and financial disturbance. Over time, Adherents have developed a body of well-established jurisprudence on the implementation of the Code’s rights and obligations and the conformity of individual country measures.

  • Ignazio Visco: the fi Nancial Crisis and Economists’ Forecasts
    Ignazio Visco: The fi nancial crisis and economists’ forecasts Commencement address by Mr Ignazio Visco, Deputy Director General of the Bank of Italy, to the students of the Master in Public Economics at the Faculty of Economics, La Sapienza University, Rome, 4 March 2009. While I alone am responsible for the views put forward in this paper, I wish to thank Fabio Busetti, Michele Caivano, Eugenio Gaiotti, Alberto Locarno, Sergio Nicoletti Altimari, Patrizio Pagano, Fabio Panetta and Stefano Siviero for discussions on its various parts and for their practical assistance. The original speech, which contains various links to the documents mentioned, can be found on the Bank of Italy’s website. 1. Introduction T IS PERHAPS early to draw lessons from the crisis that has hit the global economy. The crisis appears severe and widespread, its effects far-reaching and long-lasting. IMeasures of various kinds have been taken or are in the process of being taken regarding monetary policy, the use of public resources and the revision of rules and institutions on which the proper functioning of the markets and the operation of fi nancial intermediaries depend. The present is undoubtedly a period of maximum efforts on the part of economic policy and overall political action, efforts that are directly proportional to the seriousness of the crisis. But this is also a moment in which the interpretative models used in analyzing our economies start being reconsidered and attempts are being made at identifying the reasons underlying the failures of markets, economic policies and economists’ forecasts. Besides, this is also necessary in order to better defi ne interventions – global, substantial, focused and lasting – aimed at overcoming the crisis and, as far as possible, preventing, with the design of new rules, new institutions and new policies, such serious instability from occurring again.

  • Ignazio Visco : the G20 Techsprint 2021 on Sustainable Finance
    Ignazio Visco: The G20 TechSprint 2021 on sustainable finance Address by Mr Ignazio Visco, Governor of the Bank of Italy, at the G20 TechSprint 2021 – Presentation Event, Rome, 7 May 2021. * * * I am very pleased to share with you today the presentation of this year’s G20 TechSprint initiative. The world is currently facing some very difficult challenges – the attempt to end the pandemic, the effort to eradicate extreme poverty, the fight against climate change – and the G20 is working intensely to address them, by identifying and implementing shared, coordinated and equitable responses. This year Italy holds the Presidency of the G20 at a time in which the world economy is slowly recovering from the devastating impact of the Covid-19 crisis. The Italian Presidency aims at addressing this challenge by steering and encouraging global policy makers to strengthen cooperation and step up their efforts to promote a transformative recovery leading to a more inclusive and sustainable economy and society. In order to foster this recovery, both national and international policymakers must pay particular attention to two main factors: technological progress and climate change. The former is rapidly transforming our economies and societies. In the financial sector, in particular, new entrants such as Fintech and Insurtech companies are shaking up the market with new business models, new processes and products. As a response to these entrants, financial services firms are looking to modern technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to increase automation, deliver cost reductions, increase efficiency and gain a competitive advantage. These technological solutions and the use of digital platforms have lowered entry barriers for alternative payment providers and pose new challenges for existing service providers such as banks or credit card circuits.

  • The G20 Under Italy's Leadership in 2021
    The G20 under Italy’s leadership in 2021 Keynote speech by Ignazio Visco Governor of the Bank of Italy The Global Foundation – Rome Roundtable 2020 “Which way the world after the pandemic? Our inclusive human future” Virtual meeting, 16-17 November 2020 Your Excellences, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to join the 2020 virtual edition of the Rome Roundtable meeting. I would like to thank the Secretary General Steve Howard for giving me the opportunity to address such a distinguished group of guests and the Chairman Rob Knott for his kind introduction. Next year Italy will chair the Group of Twenty (G20) for the first time since it started its gatherings in 1999. Our Presidency, not unlike the one that is about to conclude, takes hold under exceptional circumstances. The Covid-19 pandemic, a human tragedy, has triggered an economic collapse that is unprecedented in recent history. According to the latest IMF projections, global activity will contract by 4.4 per cent this year, the worst result since World War II. At the time of the global financial crisis, in their Statement at the 2009 Pittsburgh Summit, G20 Leaders designated the Group to be the “premier forum for our international economic cooperation”. Global financial stability was then in danger; that crisis had sizeable costs, but coordinated actions succeeded in halting a more costly spiral and, also through the work of the Financial Stability Board (FSB), making our financial systems more resilient. Today’s pandemic crisis brings to the fore another extremely dangerous challenge that must be addressed with ever closer cooperation across countries.
