WEFA
World Economic and Finance
Archives
WEFA - World Economic and Financial Archives is one of the Core Values in the NESM.
Project. As the name emphasizes, the archives focus on the history of economics and finance worldwide.
The heritages of significant incidents also include those that have had an impact on their country or the world at large.
WEFA is not limited to the currency, bonds, and relative heritage exhibited in NESM.
WEFA functions more like a National Archives, cataloging a collection of original legal documents, including proclamations, Acts of Parliament, government reports, Gazettes of Banking, Currency, Government Bonds, Revenue Tax, Bills, related laws/Regulation , and more.
WEFA includes a physical archive center and an online database to support economic research for academics at a new level.
Welcome to WEFA
Archives are collections of records, documents, or other materials of historical, legal, or administrative importance, preserved for their enduring value. They provide evidence of past events, decisions, and activities, and are used for research, understanding history, and fulfilling legal and administrative requirements.
We are not limited to the currency, bonds, and relative heritage exhibited in NESM. WEFA acts more like a National Archives, cataloging a collection of legal documents, including proclamations, Acts of Parliament, government reports, Gazettes of Banking, Currency, Government Bonds, Revenue Tax, and much more. WEFA will develop a physical archives center and a digital online database to support economic research for academics at a new level.

International Research Joint Ventures
This program is open to all universities and academic bodies to conduct research topics on economics, finance, banking, art & design, papermaking, printing methodology, anti-counterfeiting, and related areas.
We can involve creating a new, jointly controlled entity or entering into a contractual agreement to collaborate on a specific project, with participants contributing personnel, equipment, funding, and other resources.
However, the benefits go beyond sharing resources to combining knowledge from different areas of expertise to tackle complex research problems and bringing international professionals together with their own cultures.
