- To identify policy options to ensure that the South African financial sector plays a catalytic role in generating employment and contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the New Growth Path.
- To facilitate the capacity development of the researchers and policy-makers both within and outside the South African government, as well as participants from other governments in the region.
- To formulate and implement evidence-based policies for effective capital account management and broader economic development.
