The European Affairs and International Financial Organizations Division monitors and analyzes multilateral cooperation in the field of economic, monetary and fiscal policy and informs the OeNB’s management and the responsible divisions about relevant developments.
Operating within a national and international network, the division serves as a hub for communication with other national central banks, the ECB and international organizations and disseminates knowledge about these institutions.
The European Affairs and International Financial Organizations Division prepares the OeNB’s representatives for meetings of the ECB Governing Council, the ECB General Council and the EU Economic and Financial Committee as well as for IMF meetings that are relevant to the OeNB.
Via the document management system DocsOpen, the division provides information and data on the ECB for the OeNB.
Moreover, the European Affairs and International Financial Organizations Division guarantees that OeNB positions are coordinated at the national level prior to their presentation in international bodies.
