At the same time, the Bank will continue its extensive off-the-record briefings to groups ranging in size from 15 to 400 people, but we will become more selective in the 80–100 briefings we provide each year. We are also expanding our communications through social media, in-house videos, webcasts and other online channels.
We provide considerable background briefings to the media, but announce our policy decisions through our publications, speeches, and press conferences. We will also provide six-monthly briefings to the caucuses of the political parties, and are redesigning our website to expand its information content and increase its accessibility.
