CNB > Monetary policy > Central Bank Monitoring

This publication is intended to inform professional economists about the latest monetary policy and strategy developments in a number of foreign central banks. Monitoring regularly reviews events of monetary policy nature in significant central banks (the US Federal Reserve System, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England) in selected inflation-targeting central banks of EU countries (the Sveriges Riksbank in Sweden, the Magyar Nemzeti Bank in Hungary and the Narodowy Bank Polski in Poland) and in significant central banks from countries outside the European Union which are conducting their monetary policy also under the inflation targeting regime (the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the Norges Bank in Norwey, and the Schweizerische Nationalbank in Switzerland). The latest two central banks were included in these banks in the course of 2009.

Central Bank Monitoring includes, among other things, a brief survey of fundamental indicators relevant from the central bank’s point of view, a calendar of events expected in the next three months, a summary of the most important monetary policy events of the previous three months. One of these events is always analysed in detail in Spotlight. Every issue of Central Bank Monitoring closes with a selected speech of an outstanding foreign central banker.
