The Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Bank of Canada, and Reserve Bank of Australia established the Central Bank Network for Indigenous Inclusion to foster dialogue, share best practices, and promote education on Indigenous economic and financial issues in partnership with Indigenous Peoples. The memorandum outlines a voluntary, rotating chairmanship structure and mandates collaborative activities including co-produced research, cultural awareness initiatives, staff recruitment support, and bi-annual symposium planning. Explicitly designed as a non-binding community of practice, the agreement facilitates knowledge sharing without setting policy positions or creating legally enforceable obligations for its member central banks.
