Introduction[edit]
The Asian Bureau of Finance and Economic Research (ABFER) is an institute founded by academics from Asia, North America, and Europe...[1] Modelled after National Bureau of Economics Research (NBER) and Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)[2], ABFER aims to be the stronghold network for all pertinent research agendas and papers in Asia-Pacific.[3] This has helped to facilitate policy-making, practice and research all across the world.
Here are the clear objectives lined out by ABFER[4]:

Key Activities[edit]
Asian Monetary Policy Forum[edit]
The Asian Monetary Policy Forum, also known as AMPF for short, is one of key programmes that is held annually in Singapore. The forum is co-organised and funded by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)[8]. AMPF has brought together high-level central bankers, policy makers, academics and private sector leaders to share perspectives on pressing monetary policy issues in Asia, such as natural real interest rates, economic growth and inflationary expectations[9]. By taking into account the experiences of different groups of economies in the practice of macro-financial stability policies, AMPF aims to identify specific characteristics associated with their approaches.[10]
In conjunction with AMPF, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Bank for International Settlements hosted a conference titled "Macro-financial stability policy in a globalised world: lessons from international experience" as part of the AMPF 2021 Special Edition (short for: Asian Monetary Policy Forum 2021 Special Edition).[11]
ABFER Annual Conference[edit]
The ABFER Annual Conference started in 2013 and has connected globally prominent academic researchers, practitioners, and public policy decision-makers to raise relevant financial and economic research in Asia-Pacific.[12] The Annual Conference touches ground on a range of topics, such as the fragmentation of the dollar-dominated international payment system, monetary tightening, bank fragility and government failures[13]. In 2023, more than a dozen organisations in Asia have joined ABFER to become Institution Collaborators[14]
Webinar Series[15][edit]
ABFER has conducted 3 webinar series: Capital Market Development: China and Asia[16], Post Pandemic: Driving Inclusive Growth in Asia and Innovation[17] as well as Productivity and Challenges in the Digital Era: Asia and Beyond[18].
Discussion Papers[edit]
Over the years, 32% of past papers at ABFER have appeared in top journals[6]. Many of such research papers were built on the context of Asia-pacific, which drew on data from the local and regional area. The discussions in AMPF have also contributed to the book, Asian Monetary Policy Forum: Insights For Central Banking, which covers a range of topics that have assumed importance in the global monetary and financial system over the past twenty years[19]. As of 2023, ABFER has received 4200 participants with 2800 submitted papers[20].
