Meetings of Central Banks and Monetary Authorities

SESRIC convenes the Governors of the concerned financial institutions operating in OIC Member Countries for the purpose of sharing experiences on financial policies and central banking in order to catch up with the world’s agenda and follow up global trends and developments as well as to improve and enhance the level of cooperation and coordination among the Central Banks of the OIC Member Countries.

The Meeting was initiated when the world economy was still suffering the negative impacts of the global financial crisis which manifested in continuous slowdown of economic growth and high unemployment rates in many countries around the world. The Meeting worked out for the institutionalization of this SESRIC initiative,  supporting the efforts of the OIC Member Countries to mitigate the negative impacts of global financial crises and shocks on their economies.
