Collaborating with the research community enriches our understanding and sharpens our policy thinking by bringing in diverse perspectives and advanced research methodologies.
Fostering collaboration
A dynamic exchange of ideas with external experts is a vital component of our daily work. By working with leading researchers, we can test new theories and challenge conventional thinking.
- Visiting Scholar Program: This program provides outstanding scholars with an opportunity to directly work with us.
- Conferences and workshops: We regularly organise conferences and workshops to foster intellectual exchange with the academic community, policymakers and market participants.
- External academic consultants: We collaborate with notable experts from outside the Bank to explore unique data sets.
