Calendar of Activities 2026
The Center for Latin American Monetary Studies (CEMLA) presents its 2026 Program of Activities as part of its commitment to strengthening cooperation, technical exchange, and capacity building in central banking in Latin America and the Caribbean.
In line with its 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, the program brings together courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, forums, and technical meetings aimed at disseminating applied knowledge, analyzing emerging issues, and promoting best practices in the substantive and operational areas of central banking.
