The European Central Bank (ECB) has launched a call for expression of interest to appoint two non-central bank members to its Market Infrastructure Board (MIB) for a three-year term starting on 1 June 2026. These members must be senior officials with experience in the payments or securities industry and will serve in their personal capacity.
The non-central bank members will provide their expertise to support the MIB in fulfilling its mandate. They will prepare for and participate in all MIB meetings, contribute to relevant documentation and engage in meetings with relevant groups and stakeholders.
The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is 26 March 2026.
The MIB was established by the ECB’s Governing Council in March 2016 as the governance body responsible for the technical and operational management of the Eurosystem’s market infrastructure and platforms. Its responsibilities cover the TARGET Services, comprising T2, TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS), TARGET2-Securities (T2S) and the Eurosystem Collateral Management System (ECMS), and it manages all Eurosystem projects in the area of market infrastructure and payments. The MIB plays a key role in supporting the Governing Council in ensuring the maintenance and further development of Eurosystem infrastructure services.
