Central Banking Awards 2025
Recognising excellence in the central banking community
The workload of central bankers was intense during the past year, with officials striving to address core policy and operational challenges as inflation gradually moderated in many economies despite a more challenging geopolitical environment. 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 policy-makers and by their key partners (including advisory firms, banknotes service providers, financial institutions, payments and market infrastructure providers, and technology companies) is largely un-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
- Innovation 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 2025, with winners recognised during a gala dinner held in London at the end of the first day of the Central Banking Summer Meetings in June 2025.
