Anton Belgrave, Director of the Bank’s Research and Economic Analysis Department (READ), explains why the seminar is so valuable. “Presenters both get feedback on a specific piece of research and gain the experience of presenting information before diverse audiences.”
Christopher Kinch, an economist at the Bank who has presented on six occasions, concurs, sharing how the experience has benefitted him:

This year, the Annual Review Seminar will be held online from July 27 to 30, 2021.

This year’s seminar will address a wide range of topics:
