Short description

The Center for Education and Research in Monetary History, Theory, and Policy (MRC) was established in the end of 2014 as part of the University of National and World Economy, Sofia. The goal of the MRC is to develop the scientific research in the field of monetary theory, policy, and history providing opportunities for decent research publications of young and senior researchers, as well as providing high level forum discussions.

Description

The organized conference is provoked by the dynamic events on money markets in Europe and worldwide, as well as of the Eurozone challenge for Bulgaria and the other Balkan countries. The Greek debt crisis seriously misbalanced the European currency, but also a key challenge for the EU are the political crises in the last 2 years, adding further uncertainty for the future of the region. The new perspectives of the world monetary system and the variety of financial crises – global and regional, suggest that a new financial order is at the doorstep including establishment and integration of new monetary systems. In this context a discussion and research for the future of European currency in the Balkans could have not only fundamental but also applied-experimental contribution.

Themes suggested by Organizing Committee

The Organizing Committee suggests some general themes for papers. However, proposals do not need to be limited entirely to these suggestions. Proposals do need to have discussions relevant to monetary problems in the Balkans and Europe. The committee suggests the following directions:

  1. Monetary Theory

  3. Monetary History and History of Monetary Thought
