De Nederlandsche Bank and the BIS’s Irving Fisher Committee on Central Bank Statistics (IFC) are pleased to organise a Satellite Seminar on “Sustainability Data Issues and Central Banks’ Experience”. This seminar will take place in person in Amsterdam on Saturday, 4 October 2025, in conjunction with the 65th World Statistics Congress (WSC) of the International Statistical Institute (ISI), scheduled for 5–9 October 2025.
We welcome submissions on topics related, but not limited, to:
- Examples of central banks’ use of environmental data across their various activities, especially their core mandates (financial stability, monetary policy, asset/reserve management).
- Approaches to effectively measure the “carbon content” of economic activities.
- ESG aspects that are relevant for developments in the global economy, with a particular focus on FDI issues.
- Social, governance, and biodiversity concepts and their use for policymaking by central banks.
- Improvements in the global statistical infrastructure to support better use of ESG data for policy.
- Relevant work on forward-looking indicators and infrastructure that facilitates the use of forward-looking data sources.
Please send your abstract proposal for a paper/presentation, preferably in PDF format, by 30 April 2025 to both [email protected] and [email protected].
