Methodology

What is covered

Speeches given since 1 January 2022 by the head of each institution only (one leader per institution at a given date): the central banks of the G20 and of ten large emerging economies, the main international economic institutions (IMF, World Bank, BIS, OECD, WTO, Financial Stability Board, Basel Committee, NGFS, European Commission, Eurogroup) and development banks, the heads of four market regulators (US Securities and Exchange Commission, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, European Securities and Markets Authority, UK Financial Conduct Authority), plus a few global banks (only speeches by their chief executive at major international events that set out a view of the world economy). The Commodity Futures Trading Commission asks AI systems not to use its pages, so its speeches are listed with a link but without a summary; the Financial Conduct Authority does not allow its content to be listed elsewhere, so we only link to its own page. 45 institutions have at least one speech listed; 1876 speeches in total, from 3 January 2022 to 5 November 2026.

Where the data comes from

Only official sources: the institutions' own websites, feeds, files and public APIs (for central banks, mostly the central bankers' speeches published by the Bank for International Settlements). Each source's terms of use and robots.txt are checked before it is used; when a source does not allow automated listing (IMF, WTO, Asian Development Bank) we only link to its official page. Some institutions are not covered for the same reason. Each entry links to the official page of the speech; no speech text is reproduced on this site.

Dates

The date shown is the date the speech was given when the source states it; otherwise the date it was published.

Summaries

For 1789 speeches, Dark Majestic wrote a short summary in its own words: the three main problems raised and the three solutions proposed. A summary is our reading, not a quotation and not an official text. When the readable text was too short or not economic, the speech is listed without a summary rather than with an approximate one.

Why it matters

For recent speeches, one sentence written by Dark Majestic says why the speech is worth reading: the occasion, the moment, the topic or what is new in it. It is descriptive only: it never predicts markets or rates and is not advice. It is written for every new speech, and older speeches are added over time.

Topics and trends

Each speech gets up to four topics, assigned automatically from keywords found in its title and our summary (see the topic pages). The 12-month trends group the sentences of our summaries into themes; a theme counts once per speech, and the percentage is the share of summarised speeches of the period that mention it. These are Dark Majestic's own classifications.

Updates and corrections

The data is rebuilt from the sources regularly; the date of the last update is shown on every page. A wrong date, title or link is corrected in a correction file that is applied at each rebuild. To report an error, use the contact address on the legal notice page.

Independence

Dark Majestic is independent and is not affiliated with any of the institutions or people listed. Summaries are our own reading of public speeches; they are not official texts and not investment advice. Institution names are used only to identify the source of each speech; flags are drawn for this site and no logo is used.
