On Monday October 31st 2022, the Sovereign Debt Forum (a joint initiative of Georgetown IIEL and Queen Mary CCLS) is organizing together with the London Financial Regulation Seminar a roundtable discussion on the ECB’s Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI). The TPI was announced by the ECB on 21st July 2022 and is conceived as an anti-fragmentation tool in sovereign debt markets with the aim to support the effective transmission of monetary policy. The controversy surrounding this yet-to-be-activated instrument, in the light of rising inflation in the eurozone, will be debated by a panel moderated by Professor Rosa Lastra (CCLS).

Panelists:

• Lee Buchheit - Visiting Professor of CCLS/QMUL and of the University of Edinburgh
• Daniel Gros - Director of the Centre for European Policy Studies, CEPS, Brussels
• Ignazio Angeloni - European University Institute (EUI) and SAFE (Goethe University Frankfurt)
• Luis Garicano - Visiting Professor of Economics, Columbia Business School
• Sara Dietz - Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU)
