Partnerships

The BIS is dedicated to support central banks in their pursuit of monetary and financial stability through international cooperation and by serving as a central bank for these institutions. As part of its mission, the BIS collaborates with central banks and other national authorities to generate statistics that inform the analysis of financial stability, international monetary spillovers, and global liquidity.

In partnership with the Community, the BIS works to develop, promote, and implement SDMX tools, striving to advance the global adoption of the SDMX standard. The collaboration between BIS and the Community involves integrating the .Stat Suite and the Fusion Metadata Registry (FMR) – the BIS's flagship SDMX software.

BIS and OECD are both SDMX sponsors.
