About the Strategy Review
During the monetary policy strategy review, the ECB and national central banks across the euro area hosted various listening activities with the general public, civil society organisations and academia. Ideas and perspectives shared at these events fed into the strategy review. Citizens across the euro area expressed their views on a range of issues through the "ECB Listens Portal".
The Banco de Portugal – as part of the system of euro area central banks – has hosted various events to hear the opinions of Portuguese citizens. Between December 2020 and January 2021 three events were organised with university students and professors, representatives of civil society organisations and journalists. The Governor of the Banco de Portugal, who plays a role in monetary policy decision-making as a member of the ECB’s Governing Council, was present at all these events.
