New educational material: “FACTS”

The European Central Bank (ECB) has published FACTS, a multi-lingual collection of 40 presentation slides on central banking in Europe. Each slide is accompanied by an explanatory text which speakers can refer to or hand out.

Topics

The topics are arranged in single, stand-alone slides which can be selected as required by the speaker. The high-resolution slides can be downloaded as PowerPoint files. The explanatory texts can be printed straight from the HTML page – together with an image of the corresponding slide – and distributed for example as a hand-out.

FACTS is intended for intermediate-level learners with some prior knowledge of central banking in Europe. It extends the ECB’s existing range of educational material and general-interest print publications. It is only available online.
