Global growth remains muted despite central bank policies that are now so accommodative that the value of negatively yielding bonds has reached $13.4 trillion. The markets are, of course, questioning the efficacy of monetary policy, and its ability to handle future crises. With this backdrop, Jackson Hole in Wyoming last week hosted the biggest event on the central banker’s calendar, titled "Designing Resilient Monetary Policy Frameworks for the Future". Livewire asked five contributors to get their view on what the key takeaway was from Jackson Hole. Responses come from Vimal Gor, Head of Income and fixed interest at BT Investment Management; Angus Coote, Executive Director at Jamieson Coote Bonds; James Alexander, Co-Head of Global Fixed Income & Head of Australian Fixed Income at Nikko Asset Management; Jordan Eliseo, Chief Economist at ABC Bullion; and Chad Slater, Joint CIO and Executive Director at Morphic Asset Management.
