Beyond the 1%: building inclusive financial industries and systems - #PowerOfFinance

Room: Plenary

Description

While global inequality has fallen as poor countries catch up with richer ones, economic inequality within countries has not, and it is clear that globalisation has not been a win-win for all. How can the power of finance, financial markets and systems, and financial institutions be harnessed to address economic inequality? As the financial technology or fintech industry grows, how can we build in inclusion from the ground up? Can addressing gender and other social inequalities in finance support the development of more economically-inclusive financial systems?
