Research pillars working towards a more sustainable economy.

01 / Purpose & perspective

Evidence for
a stronger economy.

The Monetary System & Policy Efficacy pillar examines how money is created, supplied, and managed — and whether the monetary, fiscal, and industrial policies that shape the economy are effective in serving the public good.

More about this pillar

Research under this pillar spans the concept and design of money, money creation and supply, financialisation, and the toolkit available to policymakers seeking financial stability, inclusivity, and sustainable growth. Current work explores how early-stage entrepreneurship and start-up ecosystems can be nurtured through sound policy design.

By connecting monetary theory with policy practice, the pillar generates evidence that informs more stable, efficient, and socially responsive financial systems — ensuring the instruments of policy are as inclusive as the economy they seek to build.
