Abstract

The traditional symposium on economic policy of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City was held in Jackson Hole at the end of August 2024. The theme of this year's symposium was 'Reassessing the Effectiveness and Transmission of Monetary Policy'. The choice of the theme of the symposium was determined by the forceful changes in monetary policy stance in recent years: the extremely soft policy of the pandemic period was replaced with a sharp tightening, which, however, did not stop economic growth. The rarity of this situation raises questions about the mechanisms of monetary policy transmission, which most of the studies presented at the symposium examine.
