Join the Reserve Management Working Group

Now in its second year, OMFIF's Reserve Management Working Group brings central banks together to share effective resilience practices and provide practical suggestions for managing the realities of a more uncertain and volatile world. The working group is a confidential forum in which peer institutions can test assumptions and compare approaches.

In 2025, the working group met with 10 central banks from across Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America to examine the investment strategies and priorities of these public investors at a time of high uncertainty. This year, the group will meet with different institutions to examine four key topics:

• Geopolitical fragmentation and currency diversification
• Safety, liquidity and reserve adequacy in a more volatile environment
• Artificial intelligence, data infrastructure and governance in reserve management strategies
• Regional co-operation and capacity building

OMFIF is inviting a select group of institutions to join the 2026 working group. In addition to the central bank discussions, the group will convene at the International Monetary Fund-World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok, Thailand. The conclusions of these conversations will inform an in-depth research report, publishing in December.
