As we stand at the threshold of 2025, let me reflect upon the eventful journey of 2024. In line with the trend in the last few years, central banks were once again put to the ultimate test to stabilise their economies against continuous, colossal and complex shocks. Central banks are constantly adapting to the new global economic and financial landscape created by geopolitical conflicts, geoeconomic fragmentation, financial market volatility and continuing uncertainties, all of which are testing the resilience of the global economy. The last mile of disinflation is turning out to be prolonged and arduous, both for advanced and emerging market economies (EMEs). Maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability, and building buffers, continue to be the lodestar for the EMEs.
