May 23, 2019. The BCRA Alternate Deputy Governor, Verónica Rappoport, opened today the “Tenth Consultative Council for the Americas” (CCA) organized by the “Bank for International Settlements” (BIS). She headed a panel attended by the BIS representative for America, Enrique Alberola, and two representatives for the BCRA: the Economic Research Deputy General Manager, Mauro Alessandro; and the Macroeconomic Modeling and Forecasting Senior Manager, Laura D´Amato.
