The New Financial Model (NFM) is a proposed macroeconomic framework designed to address key challenges facing modern economies. At the core of the framework is the concept of Future Money (FM), which forms the foundation of the New Financial Tool (FM rate), and the New Universal Pension System (NUPS). The New Financial Tool is proposed as an additional macroeconomic policy instrument to help governments, central banks, and financial markets manage aggregate demand, support sustainable economic growth and employment, strengthen financial stability, and respond more effectively to periods of slow growth, elevated interest rates, inflation, stagflation, and economic crises. The New Universal Pension System proposes a consumption-linked approach to providing universal long-term financial security in old age.
Present financial systems generally require households to allocate disposable income between current consumption and savings. Because income is finite, increasing one typically requires reducing the other, creating a structural trade-off between supporting current aggregate demand and building long-term financial security. The New Financial Model seeks to reduce this trade-off by linking current consumption with the creation of long-term financial savings through the concept of Future Money. In doing so, the framework aims to strengthen aggregate demand, support sustainable economic growth and employment, and enhance long-term financial security.
