Governments

Multilateral organizations, central banks, national and provincial mints, regulatory agencies, natural resource and industrial ministries, governments, and intergovernmental organizations rely on CPM for policy and implementation assistance on commodities related issues.

CPM Group provides high-level policy analyses and advisory services, ranging from regulatory issues to the normative role of gold in monetary reserves, policies related to attracting foreign direct investment in natural resource projects, project financing for energy and mining projects, procurement and hedging programs, and a vast array of client-specific consulting programs on commodities related issues. CPM Group has written extensively about government policies related to commodities, including ground-breaking papers for the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, United Nations, and others on the myth of the ‘natural resource curse’ on national economic development and the provision of commodities price risk management programs for small agricultural and mineral producers in developing countries remote from international markets. CPM’s advisory team has been involved with assisting government related entities for over the past four decades.

CPM’s in-depth market knowledge of commodities markets, our understanding of the role of natural resources in global economic systems and national economic development, and our network and experience allow us to effectively and efficiently provide private sector solutions to the public space. Our clients are assured that when needed we can provide anonymity, and act with discretion and confidentiality.

CPM Group has provided research and consulting ranging from theoretical economic analyses of gold’s role in monetary systems to sales, hedging, leasing and writing covered calls against monetary gold reserves to a majority of the world’s central banks and monetary authorities since the 1980s.
