Central Banks and Sovereign Institutions

Since 1997, Incisive Media's Central Banking Publications brand has hosted conferences, roundtable meetings and training courses for central bankers and financial supervisors, sovereign wealth managers and public debt managers from around the world. To-date, more than 2,000 central bankers and supervisors have attended our residential training courses, travelling in from all four corners of the globe. Our high-level study groups for central bankers include an invitation-only discussion group for central bank reserve managers.

In the wake of a period of unprecedented market stress there is a keen sense that returning to strong portfolio performance and greater financial stability will depend critically on the actions and policies taken by central banks, sovereign asset managers and international monetary institutions. Incisive Media was the first to establish an independently organised public forum to address such critical questions as investment policy and strategy, governance, and risk management. This forum takes place in various cities every year and is a must-attend event for executives from sovereign wealth funds, central banks, ministries of finance, state-owned enterprises, superannuation funds, government-linked companies and stabilisation funds.
