The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey is organizing the Istanbul Economic Forum on October 8 and 9. The two-day event will bring together 16 central bank governors, eight deputy governors, and the finance ministers of Turkey and Egypt to address pressing global policy challenges.

Key participants include Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, Banque de France Governor Emmanuel Moulin, and Bank for International Settlements General Manager Pablo Hernández de Cos. The agenda focuses on managing inflation, monetary policy under conditions of uncertainty, and debt dynamics.
