The ECB has also established high-level fora such as the Institutional Investor Dialogue and the Banking Industry Dialogue to collect relevant market intelligence from stakeholders in a transparent way. These fora are underpinned by a published charter that sets out the participation rules; the agendas and meeting summaries are also published.
This makes the ECB’s interactions in terms of gathering information from stakeholders highly transparent for the public. Since January 2015 the ECB has also been publishing regular accounts of the Governing Council’s monetary policy discussions.
