The Czech National Bank has published its research priorities for 2026–2028, setting out a framework intended to make its research agenda more transparent and more directly connected to monetary policy and financial stability decision-making. The framework is designed to keep the bank’s analytical work adaptable to emerging economic, financial and technological developments. The priorities focus on strengthening the CNB’s analytical base across monetary policy transmission and the operational framework, model innovation and forecasting, financial stability and system resilience, the housing and credit markets and sectoral risks, the resilience of a small open economy amid global fragmentation, and AI, data and the future of money and market infrastructure. The CNB links the priorities to the external review of its monetary policy analytical and modelling framework conducted in 2024 and to the rapid evolution of analytical methods. Alongside the multi-year priorities, the CNB will now also publish a list of current research questions and update it regularly to reflect new stimuli, short-term analytical needs and topical issues arising from economic developments.
