WAIFC-Bericht "Wie führende Finanzzentren die finanzielle Inklusion und Bildung fördern"

Der Bericht beschreibt die Arbeit der Finanzzentren bei der Förderung von Finanzwissen und -kenntnissen.

Die World Alliance for International Financial Centers (WAIFC) hat einen neuen Bericht zum Thema "How Leading Financial Centers Advance Financial Inclusion and Literacy" veröffentlicht. Die Veröffentlichung basiert auf dem gemeinsamen Fachwissen und den sektorübergreifenden Partnerschaften mehrerer Finanzzentren.

Die Situation der finanziellen Allgemeinbildung ist in jedem Land unterschiedlich. Das Bildungsniveau, die Versorgung mit Bankfilialen, der Zugang zum Internet und das persönliche Vermögen variieren von Land zu Land erheblich. Weltweit wurden zahlreiche Initiativen ergriffen, und es wäre schwierig, sie alle aufzuzählen oder gar zusammenzufassen. Daher haben wir aus dem Kreis unserer Mitglieder einige Zentren ausgewählt, die besondere Anstrengungen zur Förderung der finanziellen Eingliederung unternommen haben.

Der zweite Teil dieses Berichts beschreibt die Arbeit der Finanzzentren bei der Förderung von Finanzwissen und -kompetenz. Allerdings gibt es auch in den Industrieländern Probleme der finanziellen Ausgrenzung, und die Sicherstellung des Zugangs zu Finanzdienstleistungen für wirtschaftlich/sozial benachteiligte Menschen ist überall notwendig. Dies gilt auch für die ältere Bevölkerung, für Einwohner in dünn besiedelten Gemeinden und für im Land arbeitende Ausländer.

Frédéric de Laminne de Bex, Schatzmeister der WAIFC, kommentierte den Bericht mit folgenden Worten:

"Auf der Grundlage der bisher erzielten positiven Ergebnisse entwickeln andere Finanzzentren ihre eigenen Programme zur Verbesserung der finanziellen Eingliederung und der Finanzkompetenz und tauschen sich über Wissens- und Bedarfsbereiche aus, diskutieren über Möglichkeiten und weitere Zusammenarbeit. Dieser Erfahrungsaustausch ist eines der Ziele der WAIFC."
