The second phase of the EU-funded project for the Western Balkans began in September with a kick-off event at the Banca d’Italia in Rome.

We are planning to hold 47 international central banking courses in 2023 – 26 in-person courses in Frankfurt and 21 online courses. Registrations are now open. The number of places is limited.

Bundesbank Executive Board member Burkhard Balz and William Nyagaka, Director of Kenya School of Monetary Studies, extend the Memorandum of Understanding that has existed since 2007.

Online lecture series on climate change and central banks ran until mid-May. Two new series on the digital euro and cash management set to start in 2024. 

A large number of international central banking courses will be held online in the first half of 2021. The spectrum of topics is broad, ranging from monetary policy, good governance, statistics and cash management through to banking supervision and financial stability.

In 2020, demand for bilateral cooperation between central banks in the field of cash management increased and became more diversified. The new international online courses are being well received. The pandemic, cash centres, IT applications and cash processing were the hottest topics.

Closing event for the successful EU twinning project “Support to regulation of financial services” with distinguished guests held in Podgorica, Montenegro during the coronavirus pandemic.

A wide range of topics, including statistics and financial stability, are being offered online in varying formats – individual course units or modular courses that build on each other.

Automation, digitalisation, process optimisation, pandemic preparedness, counterfeit money – all issues that have a bearing on cash management. Our new online courses address these topics and more. 

Looking back at 30 years of central bank cooperation. What we can see is that key issues remain while the focus shifts.

At a ceremony on 6 March 2020, the EU twinning project with the Serbian national bank in Belgrade was formally concluded. Burkhard Balz, Bundesbank Executive Board member, hailed it a success in his speech.

Abdulrahman Al Hamidy and Burkhard Balz sign the Memorandum of Understanding between the AMF and the Bundesbank.

Climate change is posing new risks to the financial industry. This new expert panel provides an opportunity to discuss various regulatory initiatives around the globe and to analyse the new challenges faced by central banks and supervisory authorities. Registration deadline: 26 April 2019.

Is cash a thing of the past? Certainly not! It is an important means of payment and will remain so in the future. A central bank should be well prepared in this respect. In this age of automation and digitalisation, it is important to address the right questions and make adjustments for the future. The CIC has an interesting proposal relating to this issue.

2020 we offer again a broad variety of international central banking courses. Four Courses are brand new: Central bank communication via social media, Environmental and Energy Management, Cash management and Accounting for banking supervisors
