}}Positive Money is a not-for-profit organisation based in London and Brussels that campaigns for reforms to the money and banking system.[2][3][4] Positive Money's mission is "for a money and banking system that enables a fair, democratic, and sustainable economy."[5]

Positive Money was founded by Ben Dyson in 2010[6], who later joined the Bank of England in 2016. Its current Executive Director is Fran Boait, who is also the prospective parliamentary candidate of the Labour Party for Gloucester in the 2022 general election.[7][8]

History and activities

Positive Money carries out research into alternative forms of monetary policy and does advocacy campaigns towards the Bank of England and the House of Commons. Positive Money also mobilizes a network of 30 local groups[9] across the UK, and has run several petitions[10] and rallies in front of the Bank of England.[11]

Although primarily focusing on reforming the UK's money system Positive Money is also active internationally. It created the International Movement for Monetary Reform in 2013[12], which serves as an umbrella network for similar organisations across the World. In 2015, Positive Money became a member of Finance Watch[13], a Brussels-based NGO.

In 2015, Positive Money initiated a Eurozone-wide campaign on "Quantitative Easing for the People"[14][15] which was supported by over 20 NGOs and 100 economists. Following up on that campaign, Positive Money launched a Brussels-based branch called Positive Money Europe[16] which is focusing on advocacy campaigns towards the European Parliament, the Eurogroup and the European Central Bank.[17][18]

Proposals

Positive Money's historical backbone proposal is to introduce a "sovereign money system".[19][20] Under such a reform private banks would be deprived from their ability to create money by extending credit into the economy. In turn, the Bank of England would regain the monopoly over money creation, by financing the government's budget (monetary financing) or distributing a citizens' dividend ("helicopter money").

Although Positive Money's proposal is similar to full-reserve banking or narrow banking, it differs in the sense that it would merge bank deposits and central bank money. As explained by former Positive Money researcher Frank van Lerven, "Under a Sovereign Money system, there is no longer a split circulation of money, just one integrated quantity of money circulating among banks and non-banks alike."[21] According to former ECB Vice-President Vitor Constancio, Positive Money's proposal "would not create enough funding for investment and growth."[22]

Along the years, Positive Money has broaden its agenda towards somehow more short-term proposals such as:

  • QE for the People: the organisation proposes to channel the Bank of England's money creation known as QE towards green investments or towards the general public
  • More diversity at the Bank of England[23]
  • Greening Monetary policy[24][25][26]
  • Introducing a central bank digital currency[27]
