The BIS fosters central bank collaboration and provides banking services to its institutional partners in an increasingly complex environment. It acts as a global forum for dialogue and cooperation among central banks and financial supervisory authorities from around the world.
The Bank's capital is held by central banks only. Sixty-three central banks and monetary authorities are currently members of the BIS and have rights of voting and representation at General Meetings. The BIS focuses on developments in financial markets, monetary policy, financial stability and innovation and encourages dialogue among central banks on these topics.
Established in 1930, the BIS is owned by 63 central banks, representing countries from around the world that together account for about 95% of world GDP. Its head office is in Basel, Switzerland and it has two representative offices: in Hong Kong SAR and in Mexico City, as well as Innovation Hub Centres around the world.
