What is the Summit about?
As we enter the third decade of this century, humans face unprecedented challenges. For many years, society has put pressure on governments and multilateral institutions to solve the many unresolved issues that threaten our existence. But experience tells us that we cannot rely on them alone to put solutions in place. Transformation requires a coordinated effort of local, national and global authorities along with many private sector actors and the commitment and actions of informed citizens. And banks.We believe banking is part of the solution.
We will explore how banking can help solve the challenges of our time:
MIGRANTS the crisis of displaced persons and social inclusion
