Why Attend?

  • How has the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way central banks work?
  • How can central banks, as policymakers, and as institutions, systematically incorporate and prioritise climate risk?
  • How can a central bank integrate diversity questions into their strategic plans?

It is a shifting world that strategic planners find themselves in. These are the dynamics that will shape central banks and central banking over the next decade. Understanding implications, identifying synergies and taking a long-term view will be essential. Yet, in a world of constrained resources, strategic planning cannot please everyone. Prioritisation and sequencing have to be balanced with awareness and agility.
