Dr. Patrick Honohan, honorary professor of economics at Trinity College Dublin and nonresident senior fellow Peterson Institute for International Economics, joins Monetary Matters to share lessons from his latest book, “The Central Bank as Crisis Manager.” Looking at financial and macroeconomic crises from countries ranging from Iceland, Switzerland, and the U.S., to his native Ireland (where he was the governor of its Central Bank from 2009 to 2015), Honohan concludes that central banks must prepare to fight and manage crises in addition to their ordinary mandate of price stability (and, in the case of the Fed, maximum employment). Recorded on February 5, 2025.
