The National Bank of Ukraine has issued a call for papers for the 10th Annual Research Conference, which it will host with the National Bank of Poland in Kyiv on 21–22 September 2026. The event, titled Central Banks Response to Future Challenges: Resilience, Credibility, and Innovation, will examine how central banks are responding to pressures on institutional resilience, policy credibility and technological change, and is planned to take place in Kyiv despite the full-scale war. The agenda spans central bank independence, fiscal dominance and debt sustainability, wartime and postwar reconstruction, public trust and central bank communication, policy choices in open economies, geopolitical fragmentation and macrofinancial stability, and the macroeconomic and analytical implications of artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data. Simon Johnson, Nobel Laureate in Economics (2024), professor at MIT Sloan and former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund, is scheduled to deliver the keynote address, and leading central bankers, policymakers and researchers are also expected to participate. Research submissions are due by 21 June 2026. The call allows either full papers or detailed abstracts, and no submission fee is charged.
