One of the aims of the Bank of Finland is to be an active participant in the Eurosystem. This participation is based on the high level of professional expertise of the economists and other experts employed by the Bank. One pillar of this expertise is research that places the Bank of Finland among the world’s leading central banks in selected key areas. Since the Bank's research should meet academic standards, we seek to publish our research reports in recognised international journals. At the same time, we utilise synergic benefits between research and policy analysis. The Bank's researchers take an active part in international scientific meetings and work in close cooperation with the academic research community.
