Latin American Journal of Central Banking

The Latin American Journal of Central Banking (LAJCB) publishes high-quality research on topics that are of keen interest to central banks and associated financial regulatory and supervisory agencies. The LAJCB covers traditional topics such as monetary theory and policy, exchange rates, and international finance. It also includes topics that have gained prominence more recently, such as financial stability, climate change as it relates to financial systems, financial market infrastructures and technologies. Going forward, it could reassess their relative relevance and consider completely new ones.

The LAJCB publishes theoretical and empirical papers, as well as policy papers. The latter are targeted to those policy makers that have considerable expertise in their fields, but perhaps face significant time constraints.

The Latin American Journal of Central Banking is a continuous and open access publication.

Its papers are not only by researchers in central banks and associated regulatory and supervisory agencies of CEMLA in Latin America, the Caribbean and the rest of the world but, in addition, by those in academia, international financial bodies and others that have a profound interest in the aforementioned topics.

CEMLA is since 1952 the Center for Latin American Monetary Studies, a regional association of central banks with the goal of conducting frontier economic research and promoting capacity building in the areas of monetary policy, financial stability, and financial market infrastructures. CEMLA's primary purpose is to foster cooperation among its more than 50 associated central banks and financial supervisory authorities across the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia, encouraging policies and technical advances that enhance price and financial stability.
