Central bank hub
The BIS is a forum for discussion, policy analysis and knowledge-sharing among central banks and within the international financial and supervisory community.
We act as a central bank hub by:
- centralising access to central bank publications (speeches, research and the International Journal of Central Banking)
- hosting and supporting the central bank governance forum, with a view to fostering the good governance of central banks as public policy institutions
- providing a single point of entry to the websites of central banks, monetary authorities, regulatory authorities and supervisory agencies
Cooperation and information-sharing
As part of our mission, we promote international cooperation among monetary authorities and financial supervisory officials.
The central bank governance forum compiles, analyses and disseminates among central banks a wide variety of information on governance and organisational arrangements. Two bodies help the work:
- Central Bank Governance Group - a discussion group of Governors focusing on the institutional setting in which central banks pursue their policies
- Central Bank Governance Network - a network of central bankers that facilitates the flow of information on central bank governance and organisational issues between central banks
