The PEN seeks to bridge policy practice and research activities in the field of payment systems and post-trading infrastructures. This web page will foster the exchange of information by serving as a reference point for conference announcements, data sources and research papers.
The ECB's Statistical Data Warehouse (SDW) provides a range of data related to payment and securities settlements systems on the European Union.
The amount and quality of research on issues related to payment and settlement systems have increased over the past few years. However, it has not yet gained the recognition and the infrastructure that other central bank-related research fields enjoy. As a first step towards reducing this gap and as an attempt to further enforce the link between research and practice, the ECB has joined forces with colleagues at other central banks, as well as academics, and established an informal payment economics network for interested central bankers and academics around the world.
The small organisation team that coordinates the PEN includes the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, De Nederlandsche Bank and the Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago and New York.
