Federal Reserve Short-Term Funding Markets Conference

Short-term funding markets provide essential short-tenor financing for banks, dealers, and nonfinancial firms. They also play a central role in monetary policy transmission. These markets have experienced substantial funding stress and investor runs during the 07-09 financial crisis and the recent Covid-19 market turmoil, destabilizing the financial markets and beyond.

This conference aims to bring together researchers, regulators and others interested in related topics, with a broad interest in liquidity transformation and funding provision by banks, dealers and money market funds, as well as structure and network of short-term funding markets.

The conference theme is broadly defined. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

• Maturity transformation and liquidity management by banks, broker-dealers, money market mutual funds, or other financial intermediaries
• Frictions and fragility in short-term funding markets
• Effects of regulation and central bank intervention on funding markets
• How short-term funding markets affect capital structure and other corporate finance decisions
• Money creation and the demand for safe assets
• Fintech and encrypted currency
