Cato Institute
F.A. Hayek Auditorium
Washington, D.C.
October 14, 1997

On Tuesday, October 15, 1997 the Cato Institute continued its 15 year tradition of exploring pressing and timely issues in international fiscal policy with its meeting Money and Capital Flows in a Global Economy.

Speakers including Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan; First Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Stanley Fisher; and the Bank of Mexico's Vice Governor, Francisco Gil-Díaz, convened to sort through the pressing issues relevant to global capital flows that face the world economy

Tackling issues ranging from exploring possible roles for multilateral lending institutions in bringing about global financial stability to the lessons learned during the 1994 Mexican peso crisis, this meeting convened some of the world's most important and influential thinkers and policy makers in international finance.

Other issues addressed:

  • The possibility of and ramification for some sort of tax on global monetary movements

  • How has the growth of private capital markets affected monetary and fiscal policy?

  • The influence of information technologies on international transaction and the creation of a more seamless international market.
