Next Major Update

Minutes are now being added to the collection

MPSD is expanding beyond policy statements. The next major update focuses on scraping and standardizing central bank minutes, while also bringing additional central banks into the database. This expansion is designed to support richer research on deliberation, communication, and policy transmission.

We also welcome access requests from central banks interested in using the resource for research and institutional analysis.
