↪ FERDI and the Banque de France continue their collaborative efforts to produce studies and organize conferences and seminars. In 2023, they covered topics including debt sustainability (conference on April 7, 2023), financial digitization (conference on June 5, 2023), and the macroeconomic challenges of low-income countries (research seminar on January 18, 2023). Additional research includes a paper by Florian Léon and Djeneba Dramé on business leaders' perceptions of monetary policy, and a study by Antoine Clair (DG Trésor), Luc Jacolin, and Paul Vertier (Banque de France) on price variation and critical metal production, both discussed in seminars and published as FERDI working papers P338 and P339, respectively.
