Portfolio management in a central bank

20, 21 and 22 April 2027

The seminar is designed to broaden the investment knowledge of central bankers and share the experience of Banca d'Italia as a portfolio manager. The seminar focuses on portfolio management from a broad-based asset allocation perspective, including the more technical aspects of the investment activity.

The current framework adopted for the management of investment assets is presented in connection with the evolution of financial markets and monetary policy decisions over recent years. The programme also covers topics such as risk management, sustainable investments, the impact of AI and new technologies on the investment activity and portfolio management services offered to third parties. In terms of currencies, the emphasis is mainly on developments in US dollar and euro asset markets, particularly those in which reserve managers are most active. Beyond the technical information covered, the seminar's collegial environment offers extensive opportunities for networking.
