Leading Czech economist, member of the OECD economic policy committee and the current Vice-Governor of the Czech National Bank prof. Dr. Ing. Jan Frait will have a lecture on the topic “ Is the era of low global interest rates definitely behind us?“ The lecture will be held at PRIGO University on 17th March 2023.
