This Thursday, some of the world's leading business economists and central bank representatives will participate in the Swedbank Economic Outlook Seminar. The aim is to try to understand economic policy during and after the crisis: How can monetary policy be used when the repo rate is already close to zero? Will the fiscal tightening not only create a recession but also a depression in the crisis countries of southern Europe, and how can this be prevented?

The vast majority of analysts and players had advocated a rate cut, including myself. A few considered that rates were already low enough and would even need to be raised. What good (or harm) does a monetary policy actually do these days?
