CBN Knowledge Acceleration Programme (CBN-KAP) Description:
The CBN emphasized its interest in proposals that deepen understanding of systemic risks from non-bank financial intermediaries and how these risks affect monetary policy transmission, supervision, and financial stability goals.
CBN-KAP will help pinpoint intervention areas that align with the Bank’s strategic priorities and enhance its role as a knowledge hub and key government advisor.
The ultimate goal is to turn selected proposals into robust working papers suitable for academic publication and policy implementation.
