Baron Alexandre Lamfalussy, 1929-2015

Born in Hungary, and of Belgian citizenship, Alexandre Lamfalussy was General Manager of the BIS between May 1985 and December 1993. He joined the Bank in 1976 as Economic Adviser and Head of the Monetary and Economic Department and became Deputy General Manager in 1981.

Many significant events in the Bank's history occurred under Mr Lamfalussy's leadership, reflecting his desire for the BIS to make a tangible contribution to international monetary and financial stability. These included the signing of the Basel Capital Accord, the establishment of the Group of Payment System Experts (now the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures) and the expansion of the BIS international banking statistics, now a major reference source for economists and other researchers.
