The Steering Committee of the 4th RRN conference invites submissions of high-quality papers (with the potential for publication in peer-reviewed journals) that explore complex issues around the different sources of shocks across developing and developed countries and innovative solutions for policy makers in the MENA region to better navigate compounding shocks and build a more resilient and sustainable future. Relevant questions and topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

What role can Central Banks play to mitigate climate change shocks? How to manage monetary policy under climate change threats?

How to rethink debt sustainability in the face of evolving challenges?

What is the impact of high interest rates on sovereign debt?

How does uncertainty affect the behavior of firms and households and the macroeconomy?

What is the expected economic impact of the energy transition, the net zero emissions policy and the role of central banks: Economic and inflationary consequences of energy transition and the net zero emissions policy and how Central Banks could mitigate them.
