Call for papers
The Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Banca d'Italia are pleased to announce a call for papers for the Ninth Public Investors Conference on Portfolio and Risk Management for central banks, sovereign wealth funds and public pension plans. The conference will be held on 12-13 September 2024 at the Headquarters of the Monetary Authority of Singapore in Singapore.
Since 2008, the Bank for International Settlements and the World Bank, in cooperation with partner institutions, have organised this biennial conference to discuss policy issues, quantitative methods, and current challenges for central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and public pension plans. The conference aims to promote an exchange of innovative ideas among practitioners and academics, to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration across organizations, and to foster the development and dissemination of best practices in public sector portfolio and risk management.
Submission procedure
Proposals (in the form of a working paper – an abstract, with preliminary findings and a supporting outline will be considered) should be submitted in electronic format by 14 April 2024 to publicinvestorsconference@worldbank.org, together with a short bio.
The conference's advisory committee will review all submissions, and authors will be informed of the outcome by 4 June 2024.
The selection of proposals will be based upon, among other criteria, their quality and relevance to the conference. Final presentations will then be due by 5 August 2024.
Finally, and as for previous conferences, the advisory committee will consider the possibility of publishing selected papers from the conference in a set of proceedings.
