Central Banking Vol. XXI.I features: in an article looking back at Donald Kohn’s 40-year career at the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, Jean-Claude Trichet, Mark Carney and Philipp Hildebrand praise the departing vice chairman’s service to central banking. Speaking exclusively to Central Banking, Kohn reflects on the response to the crisis and looks ahead to the Fed’s exit. The issue includes interviews with Gill Marcus, Charles Plosser and Andrew Haldane, and a special feature on Ireland’s central bank reform looks at the progress Patrick Honohan is making in restoring the authority’s battered reputation. Articles by Charles Goodhart and Michael Taylor discuss contingent capital and Britain’s adoption of a Twin Peaks approach to financial regulation respectively.
