“Modelling Approaches At Central Banks” - Opening Remarks By Mr Edward S. Robinson, Deputy Managing Director (Economic Policy) & Chief Economist, Monetary Authority Of Singapore, At The 2024 Advanced Workshop For Central Bankers Organised By National University Of Singapore On 11 March 2024

Date 11/03/2024

Introduction

1   A warm welcome to the 2024 Advanced Workshop for Central Bankers. This is the first edition of the workshop held outside of Northwestern University since its inception in 2004, and I am grateful to our colleagues from the Center for International Macroeconomics, as well as the National University of Singapore (NUS) Risk Management Institute (RMI) for making this event possible. The NUS RMI was established in 2006 with initial support from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), to serve as a centre of expertise on financial risk for researchers, policymakers and educators. Since then, it has made significant contributions to our understanding of credit risk in the region and beyond. For example, NUS RMI has helped to develop innovative tools for monitoring credit risk and financial vulnerability at the firm-level that have been valuable resources for academics and policymakers, including at the MAS. I am confident that the NUS RMI will go from strength to strength under Professor Chen’s leadership.
