To support the development of economic policy options that promote economic growth and social equity in South Africa.

The Economic Policy Research Institute (EPRI) was founded in 1994 to support the process of South Africa's socio-economic transformation and development. EPRI is committed to analysing South Africa's socio-economic conditions and constructing sustainable economic polices that foster job creation and redistribution while supporting sustained economic growth and macroeconomic stability. The main objective of EPRI is to carry out research supporting the objectives of economic growth, job creation, and redistribution. The orientation of the research is largely macroeconomic, supported by a careful analysis of microeconomic underpinnings drawn from an investigation of South African conditions.
