We wish to encourage more industry related research and research with a practical dimension that implements methodological advances, while widening the compass of CoFiE to include any good research in financial econometrics.

Following discussions between SMU and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics (SKBI) was established in July 2008. SKBI's mission is to promote fundamental (academic) and applied (use-driven) research in financial economics relevant to Singapore and the region. The institute is named in honour of the late Mr Sim Kee Boon to commemorate his many accomplishments in establishing Singapore's modern infrastructure. About the late Mr Sim Kee BoonMr Sim Kee Boon was a leading member of the founding generation of civil servants who, together with Singapore’s political leaders, steered the nation through a period of turbulence and uncertainty to success and stability.
