Research
A major objective of the Institute
is to promote research and other academic activities in financial, monetary and
international economics but also in other areas such as trade, development
and institutions.
It aims to become a major research center in these areas in particular as
concerns the Middle East and the North Africa region. Emphasis is placed
on policy-oriented empirical work that could be beneficial to governments and
organizations concerned with the design of economic financial and developmental
policies. Towards this objective it also holds seminar, workshops and
lectures that, among other things, bring together academicians, financial
managers and experts, and policy makers to analyze issues of relevance at the
policy level. The Institute
encourages collaborative work with appropriate national, regional and
international organizations, and research center. It also accommodates
visiting scholars and experts for various intervals of time to conduct research
at the institute. In 2003, the
institute initiated a guest lecture and working paper series. The lectures
are by invited scholars and experts and except for minor editorial changes, are
circulated as presented. The working papers incorporate preliminary
findings of ongoing research work being undertaken at the Institute and
elsewhere. To access this series of publications , click
