Central Banking Awards 2023 - 10th Anniversary

Recognising excellence in the central banking community

The workload of central bankers was, once more, intense during the past year, with officials striving to address core policy and operational challenges as inflation proved to be far from transitory. At the same time, central banks have continued work on important  strategic reviews and transformation programmes, while striving to address technological, governance and climate-related challenges, often in the face of tight budget constraints.

Much of this vital work carried out by public policymakers and by their key partners (including advisory firms, banknotes service providers, financial institutions, payment and market infrastructure providers, and technology companies) assisting them, is largely not recognised. The Central Banking Awards were set up to redress the balance – to highlight the outstanding performance and achievements of individuals and organisations within the entire central banking community.

The awards recognise:

  • Extraordinary examples of public service
  • Commitment to fulfil core mandated objectives
  • Pioneering activities in the central banking community
  • Best practice in policy, governance, economics, digitalisation, infrastructure and management
  • Innovative and best practice in the provision of operational, technological, financial and advisory services

The names of the Award winners and an article detailing their winning entry will be published in March 2023, with winners recognised during an in-person event at the Central Banking Summer Meetings in June 2023 in London.
