The past year is no exception. Central banks have had to reinforce their role as trusted institutions against a backdrop of expanded mandates and populist policies. Some advanced economy central banks have tightened monetary policy causing their counterparts in emerging markets to be hit by large portfolio outflows. Meanwhile, efforts to make global regulation more efficient need to occur without allowing standards to slip. And central banks are embracing fintech disruptions while tackling cybersecurity and other risks.
