BIS invites new banks to join


The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) invites the central banks of four countries to join as new members, further underpinning its global activities.

Continuing the membership process that began in 1996 with invitations to nine central banks, the Board of Directors of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), meeting in Basel, Switzerland today, announced its decision to invite the central banks of Colombia, Luxembourg, Peru and the United Arab Emirates to become BIS members.

These central banks were selected in accordance with Article 8.3 of the BIS Statutes, and the enlargement of the BIS member base has served to underpin the Bank's global activities.
