ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics & Management is hosting the 82nd Annual Congress of the International Institute of Public Finance<\/em> (IIPF)<\/a><\/strong>, one of the world's most prestigious gatherings in the field of public finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the theme \"Public Finances in Turmoil<\/em>, The congress aims to bring together academics, researchers, and policymakers to discuss the challenges and uncertainties shaping public finances in an era marked by economic crises, geopolitical shifts, and structural transitions. The event seeks to contribute to the global debate on budgetary sustainability, tax reforms, and the role of the State in an unstable economic environment, further strengthening Lisbon's position as a center of excellence in economic and finance research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local organization is led by Antonio Afonso<\/a><\/strong>, Brigitte Ferreira, Jos\u00e9 Alves<\/a><\/strong> and Jo\u00e3o Pereira dos Santos<\/a><\/strong>, lecturers and researchers at ISEG. The Scientific Committee is chaired by Naomi Feldman<\/a><\/strong>, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Dirk Foremny<\/a><\/strong>, from the University of Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public finances are under increasing strain in many parts of the world, reflecting a combination of slowing growth, rising debt levels, and heightened uncertainty in global markets. Advanced economies face mounting fiscal pressures linked to aging populations, structural deficits, and the long-term costs of health and social programs. In emerging and developing economies, governments must manage more volatile revenue streams, limited access to financing, and the persistent effects of economic shocks. Across different country contexts, these pressures have challenged established policy frameworks and raised new questions about the sustainability and effectiveness of current fiscal strategies. Given the high degree of global economic interconnectedness, the difficulties countries face in maintaining stable public finances have implications that extend beyond national borders. Fiscal consolidation efforts, debt restructuring processes, and responses to inflation can affect trade patterns, investment flows, and development prospects worldwide. At the same time, this period of fiscal turbulence provides an opportunity to reassess policy tools, draw on new analytical insights, and learn from the varied experiences of countries confronting similar constraints.
The keynote lectures of the conference will consider these issues and explore how governments might adapt public finance practices to better address the challenges ahead.
The conference will also host several events such as a mentoring program for young scholars in the field, and a networking reception for female scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
