About the issue
Consumers everywhere need access to stable, fair and
competitive financial services. But for too long abusive market
practices have been the norm and the recent global recession has
not improved matters.
G20 Campaign - Consumers for Fair Financial Services
Reforming the global financial system has been a priority for
world leaders in the wake of the financial crisis. But so far
protecting banks has taken priority over protecting consumers. With
its members around the world, CI has launched a new campaign
calling on the G20 to take meaningful action on financial
consumer protection.
Financial Crisis
A lack of consumer protection was instrumental in bringing about
the recent financial crisis. The global consumer movement has set
out key demands to address this. You can find out more in our Financial
Crisis section.
Financial Education
Consumers of financial services must be equipped to navigate the
complex array of choices they are faced with. Financial literacy is
important across the world, not least in developing countries which
provide an estimated 150 million new consumers a year to financial
markets. You can get a feel for the work we are doing in this area
in our Financial Education section
