The Saudi Central Bank's (SAMA's) Assistant Governor for Monetary Affairs, Talal F. Al-Homoud, honored the three winning research teams and the teams that participated in the third version of the Joint Research Program at a ceremony held on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at SAMA's head office in Riyadh.

The Program covered four areas of study: the financial sector, financial stability, macroeconomics, and other economic issues.

It is worth noting that the third version of the Joint Research Program was launched in March 2023 to support research collaboration between SAMA's researchers and external experts and specialists.

​

This recognition stems from SAMA's interest in developing the economic and financial research ecosystem and awareness of its societal responsibility and role in advancing economic development through supporting national joint programs.
