04 · Special Research Programme

Interest-Free Economy & Alternative Finance

TEDRIC examines interest-free economic thinking as a serious field of comparative economic research: how finance can be connected more directly with productive activity, assets, entrepreneurship, partnership, shared risk and social benefit.

The programme studies both theory and practice, including its potential, institutional requirements, limitations, risks and relationship with conventional financial systems.
