Layna Mosley presented on a panel at the 2024 Global Economy and Financial Stability Conference in Seoul, South Korea, on Sep. 3, addressing government officials, central bank officers, policymakers from G20 member countries, and prominent scholars on the topic of "Uncertainty of Monetary Policy and Global Financial Stability."

Mosley, who is a professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton SPIA and director of the Princeton Sovereign Finance Lab, spoke alongside panelists from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Korea Development Institute, and elsewhere, focusing on how politics affects international financial institutions and sovereign borrowing, as well as debt crises.

"These crises have become more common in a period of higher global interest rates, and with China’s retreat from some of its overseas lending activity," Mosley said.
