Due to the latest developments surrounding coronavirus, the SNB has taken a range of preventive measures, which also apply to external and internal events. For this reason, the fifth Karl Brunner Distinguished Lecture, to be given by Carmen Reinhart on 24 September 2020, has unfortunately had to be postponed to 23 September 2021.
