The Central Bank Network for Indigenous Inclusion aims to foster ongoing dialogue and raise awareness of indigenous economic and financial issues. We are network members alongside the Bank of Canada, the Federal Reserve and Reserve Bank of Australia.
Formed in January 2021, the Central Bank Network for Indigenous Inclusion aims to share knowledge and best practices, promote engagement with Indigenous Peoples, and foster greater understanding and education about indigenous economic issues and histories.
Network members aspire to develop in areas such as:
Given the mandates of individual members and the current and historic economic reality of Indigenous Peoples in each member country are different, this network serves as a community of practice and will not aim to set or take policy positions.
Current members are encouraging other central banking entities around the world to join. Meetings are held on at least a six-monthly basis.
The network chair rotates between members annually.
The network plans a biannual Central Bank Symposium on Indigenous Economics. We will host the first in-person symposium in September 2023, following a virtual symposium held by The Reserve Bank of Canada in 2021.
We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the founding members of the network.
