ECB president Draghi making prepared speech at conference in Sintra 28 June
Nothing ground- breaking/price changing in the rest of it that I can see but I'll stick some headlines up.
- we would all clearly benefit from enhanced understanding between CBs
- we may not need formal coordination of policies but we can benefit from more alignment
- mon pol has inevitably created destabilising spill-overs as well
- divergent mon pol can create uncertainty about future policy intentions
- that can lead to higher FX volatility and risk premia

The ECB Forum on Central Banking is an annual event organised by the ECB in Sintra in Portugal. It provides a opportunity for central bank governors, academics, specialised journalists and high-level financial market representatives to exchange views on current policy issues and to discuss a chosen topic from a longer-term perspective. The 2016 Forum will bring together approximately 150 people and focus on the future of the international monetary and financial architecture, a key topic of debate in the areas of both economics and policymaking.
This week's event has seen BOE's Carney and Fed's Yellen both pull out amidst conjecture that the post-Brexit heat was just too, er, hot.
