About the brand ❤️
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is the world’s oldest international financial institution, founded in 1930. It operates as a bank for central banks and promotes international monetary and financial cooperation. Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, it also maintains representative offices in Hong Kong and Mexico City and operates Innovation Hub centres globally. The BIS provides services such as economic research, policy coordination, acting as trustee or agent for international financial operations, and facilitates cooperation among its member central banks. Its ownership is entirely by central banks, and together its members represent around 95% of global GDP. Over time its role has evolved from managing German war reparations after World War I to a central forum for financial stability, policy development, and crisis response.
