Additional information
This programme examines the way the financial system operates at the heart of our economy. The financial system is complex, opaque and difficult to understand. This strand aims to expose the hidden systems (or ‘wiring’) that underpin our economy and explore how it can be transformed.
Funding will be granted in three main areas
- Government Policy and Regulation – including areas such as countering lobbying and influencing, improving the understanding of key decision makers, a renewed focus on public interest.
- Banking – areas of interest include the role of the Bank of England and Treasury, enabling purpose-driven banking, and countering the influence of the shadow banking sector.
- Investment – funding might include redefining the incentives and purpose of investment, questioning ownership rights and responsibilities within the financial system, and promoting responsibility and impact focus.
This programme is open until September 2027.
