G20: Indian Prime Minister Singh receives open letter ahead of summit
19 Oct 2010
CUTS International recently enjoyed widespread media
coverage after urging the Indian Government to raise the issue of
financial consumer protection at the next G20 summit in Seoul,
Korea.
CUTS wrote letters to both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee as part of CI's Consumers for
Fair Financial Services campaign. The campaign is calling on
the leaders of G20 countries (who are next meeting in Seoul, Korea
on 10 and 11 November) to set up an international Experts Working
Group to look at protecting consumers of financial services.
The story was covered in leading daily newspapers Hindustan Times and Times of India, as well as a number of other
media outlets.
In supporting this international campaign CUTS is joining forces
with other CI members, both in India and the rest of the world, who
are stepping up efforts to ensure that governments take meaningful
action on financial consumer protection. See the Financial
Services section for all the latest news in this area.
