Financial Industry Forum
In 2022, the Central Bank established the Financial Industry Forum (the Forum).
The Forum provides an opportunity for the Central Bank to engage regularly with senior industry representatives from across Ireland’s financial sector.
The Forum focuses on cross-sectoral issues of strategic importance for the financial system in Ireland.
It meets twice a year and is chaired by the Governor of the Central Bank and its membership is comprised of 14 representative bodies from across the financial industry.
The Forum will be reviewed each year, with the first review taking place at the end of 2023.
Financial Industry Forum - Subgroups
The Financial Industry Forum is focused on strategic discussion and identifying high-level issues of importance. To allow for more detailed discussion, member organisations also participate in three Subgroups, chaired by Central Bank senior leaders.
These Subgroups meet twice a year with membership drawn from participants nominated by the Forum’s member organisations.
