First quarter in focus

OMFIF’s Ellie Groves, deputy head of programming and Europe manager, and Natalia Ospina, research assistant, give an overview of OMFIF’s varied activities during a challenging first quarter of 2021. OMFIF podcasts, meetings and publications tackled a problem many are asking: how to achieve a sustainable recovery from Covid. We also covered themes related to the Digital Money Institute, ranging from the legislation of cryptoassets to the release of Diem. The Sustainable Policy Institute’s activities covered ESG, ways to boost sustainable investment and the European Union’s green deal. The upcoming quarter will bring further insightful meetings, podcasts and publications, which will delve into sovereign debt management, green bonds, the US-China relationship and much more.
