Each year the ICMB organizes an international conference dealing with an issue of keen interest to bankers, policy makers and academic researchers. The conference is organized around a study specially commissioned from leading experts.
ICMB publishes the Geneva Reports on the World Economy series. The regular issues present the reports that were specially commissioned for an annual conference. Occasional studies produced by ICMB researchers appear occasionally as Special Reports. The Geneva Reports are published and distributed by the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). They are now available in electronic version at no cost. Please click on the images below. For hard copies, please contact CEPR.
