Risk Management for Central Banks and Other Public Investors

'How should public institutions - central banks in particular - approach investment and risk management? What should be similar to private asset management, and crucially, what should be different and why? Such important questions have received remarkably little attention. Against this background, Bindseil, González and Tabakis have produced a timely and authoritative guide to the state of the art, and a blueprint for moving forward. Their book will be of great interest not only in central banking, but in all of financial asset management - public and private, practitioner and academic.' Francis X. Diebold, Professor of Finance and Statistics, The Wharton School, and J.M. Cohen Professor of Economics, School of Arts and Sciences, University of Pennsylvania

'While there is a vast literature on risk management for financial institutions, there is little discussion on its specific applications for public institutions and particularly central banking. With this book, Bindseil and team present a comprehensive and authoritative overview on how central banks address financial risks in their operations and how risk management techniques, originally developed in the private sector, are being successfully applied to the problems faced by these institutions. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in central bank's risk management, whether working for central banks or public wealth funds, performing research or providing services to these institutions.' Dan Rosen, CEO, R2 Financial Technologies, and Research Fellow, Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

'A timely and comprehensive reference that should be required reading for risk managers and central bankers.' Philippe Jorion, Chancellor's Professor and Professor of Finance, Paul Merage School of Business, University of California, Irvine
