The Arcelli Center for Monetary and Financial Studies aims to: promote and support high-quality research on economic, monetary, financial, and banking topics; foster debate on current economic and financial issues by organizing conferences and seminars, publishing articles, and disseminating reports and press releases; and provide high-profile scientific advice both nationally and internationally, offering theoretical and/or quantitative support for the strategic decisions of public or private decision-makers.

CASMEF's main research areas include: banks, insurance companies, and other financial intermediaries; fiscal and monetary policy; regulated sectors; SMEs; and infrastructure and sustainability.

CASMEF's strength—and a key prerequisite for its activities—lies in its ongoing relationships with applied research clients. This enables the center to gain in-depth, real-world knowledge and to provide young researchers with the timeframe they need to complete their research projects. Thanks to its strong reputation, built nationally and internationally with leading public and private entities through its scientific consulting work, CASMEF supports its core research activities and fosters the growth of young researchers by funding grants and scholarships. At the same time, the results of basic scientific research enhance the added value of CASMEF's scientific consultancy, which has become a go-to resource for many public and private decision-makers across various economic and financial fields.
