VENUE: BANK OF TANZANIA, DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA
DATE: 20 JUNE 2016
Central Banks Govenors from the MEFMI region will meet for the annual Forum that will be held at the Bank of Tanzania on Monday 20 June 2016. The event will be attended by up to 40 officials comprising 14 Central Bank Governors and Deputy Governors from the MEFMI region, technical experts from Investec Asset Management and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland. Investec is the financial partner for the event. The Forum will be held back to back with the Bank of Tanzania Golden Jubilee celebrations on 22 June 2016.
The Govenors’ Forum is one of the Executive Fora series on MEFMI’s annual calendar of events meant to assist in developing and sustaining a crop of more informed policy makers in the region. Each event is uniquely crafted in an effort to address critical issues that impact and affect the role of the central banks in the macroeconomic and financial management of our region. The Forums are also used to come up with a common understanding of both prevailing and emerging economic issues.
The theme for the Forum is “Implications of the IMF Adoption of Chinese Yuan as Part of the Special Drawing Rights Basket of Currencies”. The theme is highly relevant to the MEFMI region, particularly the central banking community as they are the custodians of foreign exchange reserves and facilitators of international trade settlements.
It is MEFMI’s hope that both the presentations and the discussions will provide the unique opportunity for sharing views on the inclusion of the Chinese Yuan into the basket of reserve currencies of the IMF / World Bank.
