Dear Applicants,

The Bank of Korea has decided to cancel the first and second Central Banking Study Programs (CBSPs) scheduled for the first half of this year, based on the judgement that the worldwide health crisis stemming from COVID-19 is still ongoing.

 ο Foreign Reserves Management (Canceled)

 ο Payments and Settlements (Canceled)

 ο Internal Audits and Management (September 7-11, 2020)

 ο Financial Stability (October 19-23, 2020)

We still plan to proceed with the two remaining CBSPs scheduled for the second half of this year. However, should any changes to the schedule become necessary in line with further developments related to the spread of COVID-19, we will post them on our website.

This decision has been made to ensure the safety of all program participants and relevant staff, as a part of efforts to prevent the global spread of the pandemic. We therefore ask for your understanding in this regard.

If you have any questions related to the program, feel free to contact us either via email (bokinco@bok.or.kr) or telephone (+82.2.759.4255, +82.2.759.4247).

Thank you
