About the Board

The Board of Directors, currently chaired by Nout Wellink, President of the Netherlands Bank, has 17 members. The Board has six ex officio directors, comprising the Governors of the central banks of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom and the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve System. Each ex officio member appoints another member of the same nationality. The Statutes also provide for the election to the Board of not more than nine Governors of other member central banks. The Governors of the central banks of Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland are currently elected members of the Board.

The Board of Directors elects a Chairman from among its members and appoints the President of the BIS for a three-year term. Since 1948 the two offices have been vested in one person. The Board also elects a Vice-Chairman.

The Board meets at least six times a year and receives reports from BIS Management on the administrative and financial operations of the Bank. The Consultative Committee and the Audit Committee, made up of selected Board members, assist the Board in its work.
