Central Banks: Monetary policy reviews scheduled in Hungary, South Korea, Israel and Iceland. Lowe and Debelle of the Reserve Bank of Australia and Suzuki of the Bank of Japan speak publicly.
Events and Holidays: The annual Central Bank Symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming ends on Saturday, and the annual Group of Seven summit begins that same day. This year’s site is Biarritz, France. France also hosted the first G7 summit in November 1975. This tradition for leaders of the U.S., Japan, Canada, U.K., France, Italy, and Germany was originally established to coordinate foreign exchange policy, but the agenda has since broadened to a vast array of economic and foreign policy topics. This will be Donald Trump’s third G7 summit and Boris Johnson’s first. Trump was quite isolated at the 2017 and 2018 summits but should find plenty in common with the new British prime minister. For the first time, no G7 joint statement will be released at this year’s summit, which runs for three days. Great Britain observes its late summer banking holiday on Monday as well.
