Overview
Positive Money is a research and campaigning organisation that aims to reform the banking and monetary system. By working with a global network of experts and advocates, the organisation seeks to address economic inequality and environmental instability caused by the current financial structure.
Mission and focus areas
Positive Money focuses on democratising the creation of money and ensuring the financial system supports a fair and sustainable economy. Key focus areas include monetary policy reform, central bank accountability, and the intersection of finance with social justice and environmental sustainability.
Structure and governance
Founded in the UK, Positive Money operates as a non-profit organisation. It is governed by a board and supported by a team of specialists in economics, policy, and communications, often collaborating with other think tanks like the New Economics Foundation.
Programs and offerings
The organisation provides educational resources on how money works, publishes research reports on monetary reform, and leads public campaigns to influence central bank mandates. It also engages in international advocacy through its network of partner organisations across the globe.
Missions
Our work focuses on achieving our two core missions
- Redesign our economic system to tackle inequality and protect the planet. Give our central banks, governments and international finance institutions a mandate, and the tools, to lead the transition to a just and sustainable future.
- Shift power from big corporations and banks to people. Create an economic system that redirects power and money away from rich elites and towards people and communities.
