Managing Director - Central Bank Policy Research

Regina Schleiger is the Managing Director of Central Bank Policy Research at SGH Macro Advisors, LLC (SGH). She joined SGH in early 2022 and rapidly expanded SGH’s central bank coverage, integrating and elevating new jurisdictions that now form a core part of the firm’s global analytical footprint. 

Schleiger is internationally recognized for her accuracy and insight in predictive research, economic policy analysis, and political risk assessment. At SGH, Schleiger produces written reports on Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, consults with the firm’s global client base and assists with SGH’s continued efforts to broaden country coverage.

She brings to SGH a career shaped by decades interpreting monetary and fiscal policy developments for the international policy and investment community. Her work has been driven by a commitment to improving market understanding of the policy objectives of major advanced and emerging economies, including Australia, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, France, and Germany. 

For three decades, she dedicated her career focus on the US Federal Reserve, a cornerstone of her career, and continues to contribute her deep expertise to SGH’s already exceptional Fed coverage team.

Before joining SGH, Schleiger developed and led G7 central bank coverage at Medley Global Advisors in senior leadership roles. She began her career as an economics and political journalist in Australia and rose to senior editorial and leadership positions at Reuters, Bridge News, and Knight‑Ridder Financial News in New York. As an International Economic Policy Correspondent, she received multiple awards for excellence in coverage of central banks, finance ministries and treasuries, and leader‑level plurilateral economic governance forums such as the G7 and G20.

Schleiger is a frequent conference panelist and moderator, and a member of the National Association for Business Economics, the Money Marketeers of New York University, and the Global Interdependence Center.
