Description
Emanuela CITERA, Lino SAU, and Domenica TROPEANO. Central banking, monetary policy, and the European Central Bank : coping with the challenges. Cheltenham, UK ; Northampton, MA : Edward Elgar Publishing, 2025, xviii, 189p.

This book sheds light on the incoming challenges facing the European Central Bank (ECB) through a post-Keynesian lens. With contributions from expert global scholars and practitioners, it provides novel perspectives on the monetary and financial theory underlying the conduct of the ECB.Divided into three main parts, chapters cover the theoretical foundations of central banking theory, the threats of climate change and its impact on monetary policy, and the roles of public banks and the interbank market. They critically analyze the ECB’s focus on price stability as well as its inflation-targeting regime, before considering whether its independence and mandate should be reviewed in light of current climate realities.
