Research & Market Analysis

Research & Market Analysis (RMA) is a key element of our strategic development. RMA supports EIF’s strategic decision-making, product development and mandate management processes through applied research and market analyses. RMA works as internal advisor, participates in international fora and maintains liaison with many organisations, universities, and institutions.

EIF Working Paper Series has been designed to make available to a wider readership selected topics and studies in relation to EIF´s business. The Working Papers are edited by RMA. They are typically authored or co-authored by EIF staff and are usually published in English and in electronic format (PDF).
