Centre for Research into Economics and Finance in Southern Africa

Last modified:11/01/06

Welcome to the CREFSA website. The Centre was established in 1990 and has since become a leading centre of independent research into -

the determinants of cross-border capital flows and their implications for macroeconomic policy in Southern Africa
the structure and development of the financial system and the framework for financial regulation in the region
prospects for regional integration in Eastern and Southern Africa

The Centre's work combines applied research on macroeconomic and financial policy issues, to establish frameworks for sustainable growth and development, with capacity building initiatives to improve the quality of policy-making processes in Southern Africa. The Centre also seeks to stimulate debate and research through workshops and roundtable discussions involving policy-makers and economists from Southern Africa and their international counterparts. For information on our current research click here.

In recent years, Centre staff have undertaken a range of research and capacity building projects for official institutions in Southern Africa, including ministries of finance and central banks. The Centre has received substantial grants from the UK Department for International Development and the Commonwealth, as well as project funding from the Swedish and Danish development agencies and others.
