Reserve management in a volatile world
This lunchtime event convenes high-level officials from central banks, other official institutions, international organisations and financial market participants to explore how central banks are navigating a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.
Topics for discussion include evolving reserve management strategies, operating models and the role of external managers, asset allocation decisions and currency diversification.
The insights gleaned from this event, combined with a series of bilateral meetings with leading central banks and findings from OMFIF’s GPI 2025, will inform a research report, which will be published in November 2025.
