The Global Institute of Finance (GIF) is the global association of the financial industry, with about 400 members from more than 60 countries. The GIF provides its members with innovative research, unparalleled global advocacy, and access to leading industry events that leverage its influential network.
Its mission is to support the financial industry in the prudent management of risks; to develop sound industry practices; and to advocate for regulatory, financial and economic policies that are in the broad interests of its members and foster global financial stability and sustainable economic growth. GIF members include commercial and investment banks, asset managers, insurance companies, professional services firms, exchanges, sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, central banks and development banks.
The GIF is governed by and accountable to 190 countries that make up its near-global membership.
From access to the GIF’s Economic and Market Research to invitations to global, regional, and thematic IIF meetings, there are many benefits to an GIF membership.
The GIF works with business and finance organisations and International Institutions such as the Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, with the aim of providing cutting edge research with policy applications for the finance and banking industry and policy makers. Another objective of the GIF is to analys and promote factors that contribute to sound and effective monetary and fiscal policies. The GIF analyses and promote those national, regional and global measures that contribute to global prosperity and sound and effective global governance.
The GIF organizes groups of representatives from members to articulate international perspectives on regulatory and supervisory issues, and to interact with corresponding groups in the official sector.
GIF databases include annual macroeconomic and financial data for covered countries. Our capital and portfolio flows databases cover annual, quarterly, monthly and daily frequencies and provide more timely updates than other traditional sources.
