Dear subscriber,

[/#if]

We are delighted that we are finally able to report about in-person events in this newsletter again, which we have really missed over the past couple of years.

We were very excited to welcome guests to the first international central banking course held in person in Frankfurt. It was great to exchange ideas face to face and to share a laugh. The change of office ceremonies in Mumbai and São Paulo were just as heartening, and Executive Board member Burkhard Balz also used them as opportunities to hold talks with experts from the local financial community. At least in a hybrid format it was possible to conclude the EU-funded programme for the Western Balkans and initiate the continuation of the project.

We have a number of in-person courses in Frankfurt planned for the second half of the year as well. All information relating to these courses can be found in this newsletter.

Back to the Future™ – the return to in-person courses

Following many online courses over the past two years, the “Introduction to the Basel Framework” course was held in Frankfurt as a face-to-face event in April. Marcus Haas, advisor on banking supervision, reports on how it went and the advantages and disadvantages of in-person courses. ›
