Living costs, technology and resilience examined
Regional discussions considered the impact of imported energy, transport and food costs on small island economies, as well as housing pressures in tourism destinations. The bank noted that housing policy is outside its remit, while housing developments can affect economic forecasts and financial stability.
Artificial intelligence and the ability to recover from cyberattacks or supply-chain interruptions were also discussed. According to the account, the bank intends to use the information in its supervision, economic analysis, payments work and cooperation with national and international partners.
