The Unfinished Agenda

An efficient, stable, and inclusive financial sector is essential to development. But many questions remain about how to build financial systems that can deliver sustained poverty reduction and shared prosperity. This conference aims to present the latest research on a number of fundamental questions: How can finance support a vibrant private sector? What is the role of government in supporting SME finance? How can finance expand opportunities for the bottom 40 percent? And how can regulation achieve its objective of a stable financial sector while still supporting rapid progress toward development goals? Sessions will include, amongst others:
  • Finance and Development: What we Know and Need to Learn;
  • Promoting SME Finance: When and How?;
  • Finance and Entrepreneurship; and
  • The Future of Financial Regulations and Globalization.
