I am informed by the Central Bank that at the end November 2016, it has circa 1,600 employees which is below the original year end plan of 1,695. The Central Bank informs me that it is actively recruiting at present, with well over 100 roles advertised. Overall vacancies are spread across functions, with staffing currently approximately 11% below 2016 approved complement in Financial Regulation, 9% in Central Banking and 4% in Operations. These percentages are based on a point in time, namely end of November 2016. The Central Bank Commission has approved additional complement for 2017, to meet requirements, bringing the targeted number of staff for the end of 2017 to circa 1,800.
The following table, provided by the Central Bank, sets out the number of open roles in each function:
