Description: The theme of the IFC 2022 Biennial Conference, to be held at the BIS in Basel on 25–26 August 2022, will cover the post-pandemic landscape for central bank statistics, taking note of central banks’ dual role as both compilers and users of official statistics. The programme will cover issues such as the consequences of Covid-19 for data sources, processes and methodologies; the evolving role of central bank statistical functions; and global initiatives like the ongoing revision of international statistical manuals and the prospective new Data Gaps Initiative envisaged by the G20 – including the main statistical priorities identified in this context that relate to (i) climate change; (ii) household distributional information; (iii) fintech and financial inclusion data; and (iv) access to private sources of data and administrative data.
