About the Tun Ismail Ali Intervarsity Challenge

The Tun Ismail Ali Challenge is a two-day residential challenge that aims to provide undergraduates with an exciting opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of a central bank’s Monetary Policy Committee.

During the challenge, participants will be tasked to assess the economic conditions facing a given economy. They will then analyse, simulate and apply economic reasoning to decide on an appropriate monetary policy action. You might have read about monetary policy in the news and in textbooks, so now is the time to put that understanding to the test!
