The European Central Bank’s annual economics thinkfest in Sintra, Portugal, has a guest list for 2016 that would make the Kansas City Fed proud.
The self-styled “European Jackson Hole” retreat in the leafy hill resort near Lisbon has a preliminary program that includes ECB President Mario Draghi, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney and People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan. Of those, only Carney turned up last year to the Fed’s annual symposium near Jackson, Wyoming.
