The 30 central bankers of the major economies of the industrialized and emerging countries, representing four-fifths of global GDP, will meet today in Basel to draw up the “financial parachute” after the surprising outcome of British referendum.

On Brexit the comparison between the major central bankers, in addition to 19 other Governors as observers, will take place this weekend in Switzerland. To provide an opportunity is the 86 / ma Annual Meeting of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), “the central bank of central banks”, scheduled for today in Basel.

Already last night there was a first round table on the topic among bankers with a meeting of G-10 countries. Switzerland came in addition to the Governor of the Bank of Italy, Ignazio Visco, the ECB president, Mario Draghi, the president of the Federal Reserve, Janet Jellen, the Governor of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, but also the Governor of the Bank of ‘England, Mark Carney, the most anticipated among the participants.

the Bri had already issued immediately after the outcome of the British referendum a statement that he wanted to allay the markets on the willingness to cooperate between the lead institutions’ the outcome of the EU referendum in the UK has resulted in high market volatility.

As the governor of the Fed, Janet Yellen, will make it clear to his colleagues to be willing to wait before raising rates, as well as to decrease the volatility even in the emerging. But in the end the bankers will demand support for politicians to use fiscal leverage in support of monetary policies and, as has already been said Christine Lagarde of the IMF, the important thing is “to clarify the process of separation. ‘Procedures and objectives Maybe even on the fate of Europe.
