The ECB Forum on Central Banking is an annual event organised by the European Central Bank since 2014 which is ordinarily held in Sintra (Portugal). It provides a discussion forum equivalent to the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium organized by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in the U.S. since 1982.
It brings together central bank governors, academics, financial market representatives, journalists and others to exchange views on current policy issues and discuss the Forum’s key topic from a longer-term perspective.
