Dr. Petra Geraats has been appointed to a High-Level Advisory Panel on Central Bank Transparency by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The advisory panel, which consists of prominent former central bankers and academics, will help guide the development of the IMF's new Central Bank Transparency (CBT) Code.

As endorsed by the IMF Executive Board, the new CBT Code will replace the IMF's Monetary and Financial Policies Transparency Code. The CBT code will be an international standard to evaluate transparency across a range of core central bank functions and activities. It will serve as a diagnostic tool in capacity development and support IMF surveillance and program work.
