The Public Banking Project is a first-of-its-kind initiative, created with the intention of excavating the exciting world of public banks. Why? Because there is no pathway to global green and just transitions that will not pass through public banks. But for whose benefit? We are a collective of researchers from around the world committed to advancing pro-public alternatives. Public banks can have a catalytic effect on sustainable and inclusive futures, but only if society holds these powerful public financial institutions accountable.

About us
The Public Banking Project is a multidisciplinary research collaboration housed at McMaster University involving researchers from around the world. It aims to co-create cutting-edge scholarly knowledge and evidence-informed policy advice to improve how public banks finance sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous communities. Contributors include scholars working within and across the fields of political economy, development studies, politics, economics, finance, geography, business, sociology, and sustainability. The Public Banking Project also seeks to strengthen the interface between scholars, policymakers, and practitioners as well as to train a new generation of public banking scholars with the capacity for conceptually-innovative and policy-relevant research, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement.
