The IGF provides insight, analysis, knowledge, and policy research on key interdependent global challenges and opportunities: global financial stability, interconnectedness and systemic risk, global social and economic prosperity, and global governance.
Some of the IGF’s four core research themes focus on the following policy issues:
-To strengthen the IGF’s ongoing collaborative research with NYU in producing weekly live financial indicators that act as barometers for managing financial risks and/or potential financial crises. Policy makers, major banks, and financial market participants continue to utilise the current relevant information available on the IGF website.
-Expand ongoing efforts to improve the measurement of climate risk and its implications for financial stability and banks’ balance sheets, in collaboration with NYU, and make relevant data and analysis available on the IGF website for public use, including policymakers and financial market stakeholders.
-Contribute to policies and practical solutions that mobilise resources and talent to strengthen processes that increase global prosperity, including areas like climate change and finance.
-Contribute to developing policies and practical solutions that enhance individual and global financial security, with the goal of promoting inclusive global social and economic prosperity.
-To develop a financial architecture for developing countries, including those in the Pacific region, to help achieve the UN SDGs by 2030.
-To promote more research on the importance of effective global governance and an inclusive multilateral system that can foster greater cooperation, leading to increased financial and economic resilience and broader social and economic prosperity.
-To produce high-quality policy research that benefits the finance industry, policymakers, and stakeholders based on the four core IGF objectives mentioned above.
-To organise world-class policy and business events that raise public awareness about emerging opportunities for more effective global governance and the promotion of inclusive multilateralism, accelerate the process of global social and economic prosperity, and ensure greater national and international financial resilience stability.
