KMFA-BOK-CEPR 10th International Macroeconomics and Finance Conference (IMFC10)

“Resilience and Rebalancing in the Global Economy”

April 10-11, 2026

Korea University, Seoul, Korea

Korea University is pleased to host the 10th International Macroeconomics and Finance Conference (IMFC10) on April 10–11, 2026, in Seoul, Korea. This special 10th anniversary event is jointly organized by the Korea Money and Finance Association and Bank of Korea —in collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Keio University, Peking University, the University of British Columbia (UBC), and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR).

Over the past decade, the IMFC has become a key forum for presenting frontier research in international macroeconomics and finance. As the global economy enters a phase of structural realignments—driven by geoeconomic fragmentation, technological transformation, and policy rebalancing—IMFC10 will explore the theme of “Resilience and Rebalancing in the Global Economy.”

Keynote speakers confirmed:

• Oleg Itskhoki (Harvard University and NBER)

• Michael Devereux (University of British Columbia and NBER)
