Abstract

The 10th Lámfalussy Lectures, named after Alexandre Lamfalussy – ‘father of the euro’, prominent Hungarian-born economist and renowned expert on European finance – was held on 27 January 2025, organised by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank (the central bank of Hungary, MNB), with the title ‘The Age of Geoeconomics: Evolution of Central Banking’. The event featured speeches and panel discussions with high-level decision-makers and global financial and economic experts. The conference ended with a celebratory roundtable discussion, at which former Lámfalussy Awardees discussed Lámfalussy’s professional legacy and its relevance in the current economic environment. Two awards established by the MNB were also presented in connection with the conference: the Lámfalussy Award, named after the conference’s eponym, was presented this year to ECB President Christine Lagarde, and the Popovics Award, named after the first Governor of the MNB, was presented to Csaba Kandrács, Deputy Governor of the MNB responsible for financial institutions supervision and consumer protection.
