Fiscal Policy, Financial Sector Policy and Economic Growth Conference in Honour of Patrick Honohan: Opening Remarks

Authors

Abstract

Let me welcome everyone and let me thank the ESRI and TCD for organising
the event and the RIA for hosting the event. This conference is organised to mark the 75th birthday of Patrick Honohan. Rather than look backwards, the intention is to spend the day looking to the future, with a focus on the main economic policy challenges facing Ireland: fiscal policy, financial-sector policy and growth policies. This design reflects the domestic component of Patrick’s career, which has been spent on applied economics questions since the early 1970s; at the Central Bank, ESRI and TCD, while also maintaining many connections with UCD. In addition, Patrick served as adviser to Garret FitzGerald during the 1980s and, of course, served as Governor of the Central Bank over 2009-2015.
