Boards and executive teams responsib le for making monetary policy decisions\, managing risks and navigating tu rbulent economic situations benefit from the diversity of opinion offered by gender equality. As young women see more role models in female leaders across sectors\, the pool of talent from which institutions can recruit wi dens and increased diversity can be expected. OMFIF is contributing to the se trends with its annual Gender Balance Index\, now in its sixth year\, w hich tracks the presence of women in senior positions at central banks and sovereign funds. The Singapore launch includes a keynote presentation and panel discussion focusing on public sector initiatives and draws on exper ience and comparative data from financial firms and institutions in the pr ivate sector. GBI 2019 has been expanded to include profiles of female cen tral bankers and case studies covering internal policies that institutions have adopted to support the progress of women. The analysis includes rele vant changes in the senior ranks of the institutions covered and assesses how countries\, regions\, and other economic groupings perform in the inde x.
