CentralBanking.com is firmly established as the industry’s leading information resource – it delivers unrivalled coverage of the market, with in-depth analysis of all the latest industry news.
As they operate in the world’s only local global business, central bankers and their service providers face two challenges when they want to know what is happening in their industry. First, global news will only regularly cover G10 central banks and only from a macroeconomic perspective. Second, local national news sources will focus only on the local central bank.
Perhaps that’s why central bankers in more than 120 countries have, for more than a quarter of a century, trusted Central Banking.com for independent, informed and truly global coverage and commentary on their work and community. From the fall of the Berlin wall through the Global Financial Crisis, Central Banking has provided a platform for central bankers to explain their important work to their peers, their stakeholders and the wider financial community.

What do we cover?
Central Banking’s editorial team is led by Christopher Jeffery with dedicated writers in London and Hong Kong. The editor and team benefit from the support of a prestigious editorial advisory board, whose members include former central bank governors and Nobel-prize winning economists.
The editorial coverage is organised around six desks, with each specialising on a specific area of central banking. Click on the tabs below to find out more.
Central Banking’s reporting goes beyond the rate decision to analyse the thinking behind it and the forward-looking view policymakers have. With a truly global outlook, Central Banking highlights the latest trends in targets, operating frameworks and collateral management, reporting, comparing and commenting on the technical aspects of monetary-policy making and its implications for balance sheets.
Central Banking’s reporting takes in not only the latest in policy but also reports and surveys from international organisations. A comprehensive coverage is enhanced by longer articles offering new thinking, often from central bankers themselves, and comparative analysis. In depth interviews with policymakers challenge policies and offer a platform to explain approach in detail.
The markets, too, are changing and it is this interplay of these two dynamics which informs Central Banking’s reporting and more detailed articles. Beyond macroeconomics, there is a recognition that central banking has much to learn from branches and related disciplines, notably game theory, behavioural finance and network theory.
Central Banking publishes contributions from leading thinkers, including Nobel-Prize winners, and has recognised the importance of this area in its annual “Economics in Central Banking” Award, previous winners of which include Claudio Borio and John Taylor.
Market players and stakeholders know that a better understanding of the inner workings of a central bank will lead to better understanding an anticipation of policy. From people to profits, mandates to management, ownership to outsourcing Central Banking offers the only global coverage of the business of central banking: how effective they are, how efficient they are and how they are changing.
Central Banking’s reporting and analysis of latest developments draws on more than ten years of its National Asset-Liability Management conferences and its Reserve Management Trends surveys, the only regular, first-hand, and publically available reporting on the actions and expectations of reserve managers.
The technological changes taking place in these areas and the stakeholder communities make currency one of the most dynamic areas. Central Banking’s team reports new developments in notes and payments and longer in depth articles explore the implications of new technologies for those responsible for currency and payment in central banks and the industries that support them.
