GEMs Secretariat

The Consortium has entrusted the European Investment Bank (EIB) to perform the functions of GEMs Secretariat. GEMs Secretariat is hosted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and is formed of GEMs Secretary General and several staff members. It facilitates the workflows of the Consortium and coordinates the collaboration with the member institutions. GEMs Secretariat maintains the data submission templates, documentation framework and credit risk methodologies, and coordinates their evolutions in close collaboration with member institutions’ delegates. It steers the production of the Consortium’s internal reports and publications, and oversees the development of the GEMs Webtool, which hosts the database and allows member institutions’ delegates to perform statistical queries. GEMs Secretariat also facilitates the cooperation within the member institutions by organising annual meetings for the general assembly and working groups and running working group activities throughout the year. Moreover, it provides support to the member institutions’ delegates on questions related to the application of the output statistics, provides advice and decision support services to the GEMs Steering Committee, and implements the further development of GEMs according to the Steering Committee’s guidance.
