A four-person delegation from the Central Bank of the Philippines in Manila visited the University of Applied Sciences on 17 May 2023. The guests, all staff members from the central bank’s human resources department, were particularly interested in the question of how the Bundesbank recruits its new staff.

“Isn’t that...?” When an unannounced guest entered the audience in the middle of a lecture on Central Banking and the Conduct of Monetary Policy, the roughly 60 students in the advanced study course at the Bundesbank’s University of Applied Sciences in Hachenburg could not believe their eyes.

The Holy See conducts its financial business through its own financial institution, the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (a.k.a. the IOR) – and because the Vatican has a financial institution, it also has a financial supervisory authority.  From 24 to 26 April 2023, a senior delegation from ASIF, the financial supervisory authority of Vatican City, visited the university for an exchange of knowledge and experience.
