  • Date: June 11-13, 2024,
  • Location: Cyprus University of Technology, Limassol, Cyprus

FMA International’s 2024 European Conference keynote speaker: Hanno Lustig

Hanno Lustig has worked at the intersection of macroeconomics and finance. Recently, his research has focused on understanding the forces that determine exchange rates in currency markets. His research has shown how currencies have different risk characteristics determined by a country’s role in the global economy. These risk characteristics help to understand the behaviour of exchange rates. In addition, Lustig has explored government guarantees’ impact on the tail risk pricing borne by large financial institutions. More recently, Lustig has also worked on understanding the determinants of a firm’s volatility (volatility of sales, cash flows, stock returns, etc).
