Statement of purpose

The International Journal of Central Banking (IJCB) is an initiative of the central banking community.

Published bimonthly, the journal features articles on central bank theory and practice, with a special emphasis on research relating to monetary and financial stability. The main objectives of the International Journal of Central Banking are:

• to disseminate widely the best policy-relevant and applied research that reflects the missions of central banks around the world across a range of disciplines; and
• to promote communication amongst researchers both inside and outside of central banks.

The journal's sponsoring institutions are committed to ensuring that the IJCB offers articles of high analytical quality for a professional audience. Both central bank and non-central bank economists are invited to submit papers for consideration.
