Using artificial intelligence to decode the language of central banks
18.03.2025 DE
How does central bank communication affect the economy? Artificial intelligence provides new insights: the Monetary-Intelligent Language Agent (MILA) model developed at the Bundesbank analyses monetary policy statements and assesses the signals they send out – from restrictive to accommodative. This presents promising opportunities for better shaping monetary policy messaging. But AI-assisted analyses also pose inherent risks, such as diminishing diversity of opinion.

Access to cash in Germany still guaranteed
17.03.2025 DE
According to the current Monthly Report, access to cash in Germany is currently largely secure despite the progressive reduction in ATMs and bank branches. For example, the majority of the population has access to an ATM or bank counter within five kilometres, although urban areas are noticeably better served than rural areas. The Bank’s experts write that, in order for the freedom of choice between cash and digital means of payment to endure, infrastructure for the supply of cash must remain intact in future.

Python – a crash course for central bankers
The course is designed for staff working in information technology, statistics or research departments at central banks and regulatory and supervisory authorities with an interest in applying machine learning methods with Python. It is not aimed at those who already have extensive and advanced knowledge of Python.
Indeed, little prior knowledge is expected, and the necessary Python skills are covered at the beginning, making the course suitable for previously inexperienced staff. It may be interesting for those who wish to switch from the programming language R to Python.
