The Asian Consultative Council (ACC) guides the activities of the Asian Office, which serves as its secretariat. Established in March 2001, the ACC facilitates communication between shareholding central banks in the region and the BIS's Board and Management on matters of interest to the Asia-Pacific central banking community. It also provides guidance for the Asian Office's research and banking activities.
The ACC comprises the Governors of the BIS member central banks in the Asia-Pacific region: Australia, China, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Perry Warjiyo, Governor of Bank Indonesia, is the current Chair of the Council, and the Chief Representative of the Asian Office, Tao Zhang, currently serves as its secretary.
