The Czech National Bank has published a 2026–2028 research priorities framework aimed at making its research agenda more transparent and more closely linked to monetary policy and financial stability decision-making, while allowing flexibility to address new economic, financial and technological challenges. The priorities focus on strengthening the CNB’s analytical base, spanning monetary policy transmission and the operational framework, model innovation and forecasting framework development, financial stability and system resilience, housing and credit markets and sectoral risks, resilience of a small open economy amid global fragmentation, and AI, data and the future of money and market infrastructure. The CNB links the approach to a 2024 external review of its monetary policy analytical and modelling framework and will complement the long-term priorities with a regularly updated list of current research questions to support short-term analytical needs and emerging issues.
