Asian Consultative Council
The Asian Consultative Council (ACC) is an advisory committee to the BIS Board and Management on activities and engagement with central banks in the region.

The Asia Office supports the work of the ACC, including its interactions with the broader BIS community, as well as on strategic issues related to BIS activities and central bank cooperation and engagement. The ACC is currently chaired by Michele Bullock, Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, who started a two-year term in May 2026. The Chief Representative of the Asia Office, Tao Zhang, serves as the ACC Secretary.
