Agenda
African Central Bank Reserve Management 2020
Challenges Today – Opportunities Tomorrow
Arusha, Tanzania
December 1st - 3rd 2015
Distinguished delegates,
a very warm welcome to Arusha and to the “African Central Bank Reserve Management
Conference”, organized by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit
(GIZ) GmbH and Allianz Global Investors. For the next three days we will explore and
discuss today´s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities in central bank reserve and
investment management from an African perspective.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers and the subsequent financial crisis, accompanied by
the ongoing financial repression, have triggered a paradigm shift in central bank reserve
management. The global investment universe has irreversibly changed and central banks
across the world are facing unexploited territories. New and so far unknown challenges
have emerged and their management became a crucial and even more important part of
all reserve management activities.
The concepts of “safe havens” and “risk free returns” have turned out to be an illusion,
while central banks need to navigate through these untapped waters without compro-
mising their primary reserve management objective of preserving the capital inves-
ted. In Africa, many countries simultaneously enjoy rising levels of foreign currency
reserves, creating new opportunities and the coherent need for investment diversifica-
tion on a local as well as global scale. The “African Central Bank Reserve Management
Conference” brings together central bank investment and risk managers from across
the continent to debate today´s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities with experts
from Allianz Global Investors and further high profile industry representatives from the
World Bank Treasury, Deutsche Bundesbank, Standard & Poor’s and Standard Bank of
South Africa.
This conference rounds up a series of workshops, conducted by GIZ and Allianz Global
Investors over the last 1.5 years, providing state of the art professional training and ad-
visory for the central banks of the East African Community (EAC) in regards to central
bank risk and reserve management techniques. Commissioned by the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, Allianz Global Inves¬tors
and GIZ have established a public private partnership that has been the basis for this
innovative and first of its kind initiative. Reflecting the success of this series of work-
shops and the highly encouraging feedback received, we decided to open the forum by
organizing a conference addressing central banks not only from the EAC, but from the
entire sub-Sahara Africa. Bank of Tanzania immediately and liberally offered to host
this exclusive event here in Arusha. So it all ends where it initially started as the first
workshop of the initiative was also hosted by Bank of Tanzania on Zanzibar. Allianz-
GI and GIZ would like to express their sincere gratitude to Bank of Tanzania for this
remarkable and outstanding commitment and courtesy.
We wish all delegates a very informative, productive and thought-provoking conference
here in Arusha. Kindly allow us to encourage all of you to use the next three days as an
interactive and engaging platform for discussions, exchange of ideas and networking!
