The Deutsche Bundesbank will host the 21st Central Bank Conference on the Microstructure of Financial Markets on September 10–11, 2026 in Eltville am Rhein, Germany. The Bundesbank Conference Center in Eltville is conveniently located just a short journey from Frankfurt am Main.
The conference will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss recent research and current policy issues related to the microstructure and functioning of financial markets.
The conference has a tradition of a broad approach to market microstructure, covering a wide range of asset classes and trading protocols, and maintaining a blend of empirical and theoretical papers. As such, studies in all areas of market microstructure and, more broadly, financial market functioning, are welcome. However, we encourage submissions on the following topics:
• Artificial intelligence and market microstructure
• The functioning and resilience of sovereign bond and repo markets
