THE THEMES
The region’s premier institution, Bank Indonesia Institute – Bank Indonesia, is pleased to host the 18th Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking (BMEB) International Conference and Call for Papers on “Policy Innovation in a Turbulent World: Embracing Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence Amid Global Uncertainty” in collaboration with the Asia-Pacific Applied Economics Association (APAEA). The world is navigating an era of unprecedented turbulence, characterized by complex challenges, such as climate change, economic instability, and rapid technological advancement. In this condition, effective policymaking and policy design are crucial to navigate these uncertainties to ensure sustainable social and economic progress. This call for paper encourages papers that (a) analyse the policy innovation for global uncertainty, (b) assess the digital optimization for policy making, (c) examine AI-driven decision-making in policy design, (d) examine the policy innovations relevant for addressing global challenges, and (e) analyse and evaluate risk mitigation strategies in the digital era.

The BMEB’s scope is global and the journal endeavours to publish high quality research that contributes to the literature and/or has an impact on policy making and/or policy design. In this regard, the BMEB welcomes research papers from both central bank and non-central bank economists, academics, and policy makers regardless of their institutional affiliation and geographic location.
