The Bank of England's Centre for Central Banking Studies conducts seminars and provides expert advice for central banks throughout the world. It is a centre for comparative study and collaborative research on issues at the forefront of central banking.
Its primary aims are to foster monetary and financial stability world-wide, to promote the Bank of England's core activities, and to provide opportunities for central banking staff to obtain broader perspectives on their own areas of expertise. Its goal is to be recognised internationally as a centre of intellectual excellence for the study of central banking.
The CCBS is based at the Bank's Head Office in London and is staffed by experienced central bankers with technical expertise drawn from the various operational and analytical areas of the Bank of England.
We run a series of seminars and workshops in London on core central banking issues. We also respond to approaches for us to run events abroad - either for one institution or on a regional basis for a group of central banks in a particular area. The Bank of England makes no charge for tuition and, in addition, provides lunch, coffee and tea, together with some evening entertainment. Participating central banks will have to pay their nominee's travel expenses, accommodation (in the range of £100-£120 per night at our recommended hotels, including breakfast, services and taxes) and other daily living costs (we estimate these to be approximately £30 a day).
Additionally, we are able to provide expert advice on a range of central banking subjects and can sometimes arrange for short, specialised visits to the Bank of England. The Centre also undertakes comparative research on central banking issues - a relatively new innovation has been the research workshops. A series of Handbooks in Central Banking has also been published - these are short, focused booklets discussing the key points of a number of central banking topics.
