This event aims to promote policy-relevant research and dialogue on financial stability and macroprudential policy in South Africa.
We invite submissions on policy, empirical or theoretical work related to financial stability issues, including the following topics:
The symposium will bring together researchers, central bankers, policymakers and market practitioners to discuss key financial stability topics.
The programme will feature academic presentations and keynote policy discussions. Both sessions of the symposium will be held in person.
The June 2027 session will be hosted at the South African Reserve Bank Head Office Campus in Pretoria, Gauteng, while the August 2027 session will take place at Stellenbosch University in the Western Cape.
The SARB will cover local return economy-class airfares and accommodation for presenters participating in the symposium programme.
Submission guidelines
The closing date for submissions is 26 February 2027. Papers to be considered for presentation at the symposium should be submitted to FinStab@resbank.co.za. While full papers are strongly preferred, extended abstracts of approximately 500–1 000 words will also be considered. Submissions should be written in clear, concise, plain language and highlight policy relevance.
Accepted papers will be allocated to the first or second session based on their thematic fit and programme requirements. Authors of successful submissions will be notified by 31 March 2027.
For any enquiries, please contact FinStab@resbank.co.za.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and welcoming you to the 2027 Financial Stability Research Symposium.
