The bank's H-1B activity has been episodic rather than sustained, with peaks in 2015 (8 filings) and 2014 (5 filings), followed by minimal activity in recent years until the 2026 filings. This pattern reflects selective use of H-1B sponsorship for specialized economic and financial roles that fit the central bank's research and policy missions.
