CI launches G20 financial services campaign
08 Oct 2010
Demanding more from our leaders on financial consumer
protection.
Consumers everywhere need access to stable, fair and competitive
financial services. They have had to put up with abusive practices
for too long and the recent global recession has not improved
matters.With its members around the world, CI has launched Consumers for Fair
Financial Services - a new campaign to address this crucial
issue.
Despite making commitments at recent summits in Pittsburgh and
Toronto, financial consumer protection has remained neglected by
the G20. But getting this right is not only vital to consumers, but
also to the stability of the world economy.
This is why the consumer movement is calling on G20 leaders to
set up a new Experts Group on financial consumer protection at the
their next summit in Seoul, South Korea on 11 to 12 November 2010.
The Experts Group should be tasked with reporting to the G20 summit
in 2011, with strong recommendations on protecting consumers of
financial services.
