A Monetary Survey Executive Information System or MSEIS is designed to provide top executives from DER access to various financial and economic indicators focusing on the movements of monetary aggregates based on the Monetary Survey. This study also includes the design of a system to produce the Monetary Survey.Based on the interviews of top officials, critical success factors were used to determine information requirements for the MSEIS. In addition to information requirements, improvements on the present system and on the information executives receive were also considered. The MSEIS was designed using paper-phototyping. Screen designs were shown to users and were enhanced until it was accepted. Finally, sources of information used in the MSEIS were identified.
