Abstract

Market intelligence (MI) activities are an indispensable analytic input to central bank operations and policy analysis. Direct interaction with market participants offers timely and valuable insights into market conditions and the impact of central banks' operations. These engagements provide context for interpreting market dynamics; help fill the gaps where data are non-existent, incomplete or lagged; and complement data analysis to illuminate broader market trends. MI output feeds into a wide range of central bank functions, including monetary policy analysis and implementation, foreign exchange reserve management and financial stability analysis. On 18–19 February 2025, the European Central Bank hosted the 5th Markets Committee Workshop on Market Intelligence in Frankfurt, Germany. The series of discussion sessions, which included a showcase of MI tools, allowed central bank participants to exchange views on their respective MI frameworks, practices and challenges. The workshop also benefited from the results of a survey of MC central banks that was conducted in the fourth quarter 2024. This article summarises five key insights from the workshop, also drawing on the survey results.
