Building a more efficient, resilient and equitable international financial system that protects customers, enabling saving and investment for growth while supporting the creation of jobs and enterprises.
Financial and monetary systems represent the cornerstone of economic activity. Over the past decade, important steps have been taken to strengthen system resilience. At the same time, a rapid transformation of the system is defining new economic poles, driving power away from public institutions to non-state actors, and accelerating technological disruption, with significant implications for existing and future value chains and employment. Demographic shifts and political polarization are also significantly influencing the system.
