1) 17.7% of Australians, or around 3.12 million adults, are financially excluded from mainstream financial products and services like transaction accounts, credit cards, and insurance.
2) Financial exclusion means people cannot afford basic needs, do not have money to pay for emergencies, and are vulnerable to predatory lending.
3) NAB has launched several microfinance programs over the years like NILS, StepUP loans, and AddsUP savings to help underserved populations gain access to affordable credit and savings options. The volume of their microfinance loans has increased substantially each year.

This document discusses Ireland's bank bailout and austerity policies. It notes that Irish bank executives benefited from the €400 billion state guarantee that insured deposits and debt. This guarantee allowed banks to borrow more freely and cheaply. The guarantee was primarily for the banks' benefit rather than depositors. One bank CEO said the guarantee would allow banks to borrow more cheaply by turning the "oxygen supply" back on for Irish banks. The document also notes that Ireland has incurred large costs from the banking crisis relative to other EU countries.

SBI is considering charging transaction fees for accounts opened under India's financial inclusion plan to make the no-frills accounts more sustainable. The RBI is expected to raise interest rates by 0.5% by the end of March 2011 to combat high inflation. BSNL has partnered with Datacraft Asia to set up data centers across six regions in India with an initial investment of 200 crore rupees.
The document discusses the European sovereign debt crisis and financial intermediary balance sheets. It notes that financial institutions are vulnerable if their assets turn toxic or depositors withdraw funds suddenly. It discusses last resort lending by central banks to increase liquidity, bailing out institutions by swapping bad assets for safe ones, and the Swedish solution of government takeovers and restructuring. The document concludes that resolving the Eurozone crisis will require both economic and political sustainability, and unwinding financial integration completely would be disastrous.
The document provides details on promissory notes issued by the Irish government to cover debts of Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society after they became insolvent during the 2008 financial crisis. The notes, totaling €30.6 billion, are being paid back over 20 years through 2031. Making the note payments costs the Irish state an estimated €85 billion due to interest and requires substantial annual fiscal consolidation that hinders economic growth. The document discusses risks cited in changing the repayment terms and argues the risks are overstated and flexibility could help Ireland's economic recovery.

Examples are given of how capital partnerships could work to fund community media projects on a not-for-loss basis through revenue sharing agreements between investors, communities, and service providers.
African Union for Housing Finance Conference: Housing Finance Workshop DID Mi...AfricaChinaUrbanInitiative
With more than 46 cities in Africa swelling to populations of a million people or more — and 17 of the world's 100 fastest-growing cities located in Africa — there is an acute need to develop housing solutions for so many urban residents. But raising the capital to meet that growing demand for housing remains a significant challenge. In 2013, the African Union for Housing Finance (AUHF) will host a conference under the theme "Raising Capital for Housing Finance.” The Africa-China Urban Initiative will organize a conference panel discussion on "Understanding (and harnessing) Chinese investment interest." Chinese investment in residential development in Africa is increasingly having an impact and demonstrating a track record of opportunity and experience. Panelists invited include Chinese investors setting out their experiences and expectations for the market and an African corporation that has received Chinese financing.

Decentralized finance development servicesAmniAugustine
DeFi is an abbreviation of the term Decentralized Finance which leverages decentralized networks to reshape the financial applications into permissionless & transparent self-executing protocols without the governance of intermediaries.
Generally, DeFi is an open finance movement that aims to create a financial system that is open to everyone globally and evades the need to depend on central authorities. Technologies like cryptocurrency, smart contracts, and blockchain paved the way for the emergence of this disrupting financial solution - DeFi (Decentralized Finance).
Iceland – prime victim of EU’s outdated supervisory and regulatory framework ...Stanislas Jourdan
This memo from written by Frida Fallan for the deputy governor of the central bank of Sweden Lars Stefan Nyberg criticizes EU’s outdated supervisory and regulatory framework and in particular deposit guarantee schemes.
This exclusive document was provided to me by the Riksbank in 2011.
The document discusses moving from the current centralized financial system ("Here") to a more decentralized and resilient system ("There") through the use of unitization. Unitization involves creating ownership claims called units that are based on the value generated by productive assets, such as rentals or energy production. This allows for direct investment in assets through units and partnerships, reducing costs and complexity. The document proposes starting with small-scale projects around equity release and community energy to demonstrate this new approach before expanding to larger initiatives like refinancing public assets and creating carbon markets.
Commercial banks offer full banking services like checking and savings accounts to individuals and businesses. Savings and loans traditionally loaned money for home purchases, while credit unions are nonprofit cooperatives open only to group members. The FDIC insures individual bank accounts up to $100,000. Government monetary policy controls the money supply and borrowing costs through tools like adjusting the discount rate charged to banks and using open market operations.
Phil Levy presented on investing in residential real estate in the Santa Clarita Valley. He outlined that now is an opportune time to invest for cash flow, returns, diversification, tax benefits, and eventual financial independence. Levy advised assembling a professional team including an agent, attorney, accountant, lender, inspector, and property manager. When finding a property, investors should consider the area, appreciation potential, rents, expenses, cap rate, and cash flow. Key terms like net operating income, leverage, and exit strategies were also defined to help evaluate investment opportunities.
This presentation critically analyzes the relationship between housing and inequality.

Ireland’s EU-IMF Program: A Safe Harbor in a Perfect StormLatvijas Banka
The document summarizes Ireland's EU-IMF program from 2010-2014 that aimed to restore financial stability and regain market access after Ireland faced severe challenges from the global financial crisis and euro crisis. The program focused on upfront actions like evaluating bank balance sheets, a clear plan for restructuring banks, and large fiscal consolidation. Euro area policies like improved financing terms and ECB commitments were also essential to the program's success. By mid-2012, Ireland began recovering as hiring and investment increased and it gradually regained market access, though work remains to fully repair the banking sector and reduce high debt levels. The IMF assessed that careful phasing of financial and fiscal reforms while protecting growth was important to program effectiveness.
The Recommendation on Financial Literacy was adopted by the OECD Council on 29 October 2020, during the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting. It presents a single, comprehensive, instrument on financial literacy to assist governments, other public authorities, and relevant stakeholders in their efforts to design, implement and evaluate financial literacy policies. It is part of a holistic approach to financial-consumer issues, where financial literacy, together with improved financial access, adequate consumer protection, and regulatory frameworks, are expected to support financial resilience and well-being.

banks carry out their public policy objectives is providing the safest form of money to banks, businesses
and the public – central bank money.
Financial Inclusion Improving the financial health of the nationDr Lendy Spires
The document discusses financial inclusion in the UK and the work of the Financial Inclusion Commission. Some key points:
1. The Commission was formed to examine the current state of financial exclusion in the UK and make recommendations to promote greater financial inclusion.
2. While progress has been made in recent decades to improve access to financial services, around 2 million UK adults still do not have a bank account and many lack savings or insurance.

It includes sections on the macroeconomic context in Brazil, the history and profile of PINE bank, its business strategy focused on providing complete service to corporate clients, pillars of the strategy including a strong team and capital structure, recent rating upgrades, and highlights of financial results for 3Q11 showing improvements across key metrics.
The document summarizes Colombia's experience developing strategies to promote financial inclusion and savings among the ultra-poor population. Key strategies discussed include linking conditional cash transfer program payments to savings accounts, promoting savings groups in remote areas, providing financial education programs, and developing microinsurance and village banking programs. The strategies aimed to overcome poverty traps, build assets, and increase access to basic financial services for Colombia's poorest residents.
The document discusses building inclusive financial sectors to increase access to financial services for low-income clients. It notes that current supply reaches only a small fraction of the world's population and unmet demand is staggering. The objectives are to develop a common understanding of constraints, opportunities for action, and a "Blue Book" to stimulate concrete action. The process involves multistakeholder dialogues and a global meeting in May 2005 to address why so many potential clients remain unbanked and identify ways to pursue further dialogue in the Middle East/North Africa region.

Chicago Microfinance Conference 2010 Bga Presentationzeynepburcu
This document summarizes a presentation on microfinance in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It outlines trends in the region such as slower growth in microcredit and deposits in 2008 due to the global financial crisis. It also discusses key issues like increasing credit risk, the dominance of credit unions and microfinance banks, and higher than average loan sizes. Finally, it examines funding sources for MFIs in the region and identifies Turkey as an untapped market with recent growth in microfinance awareness and investments.
The document summarizes a presentation on using new business models and mobile technology to increase financial inclusion in Mexico. It discusses how traditional banking has failed to reach many rural and low-income communities. A proposed model involves a non-bank government agency using agents and partnerships with telecom companies to deliver low-cost financial services to underserved areas via mobile phones. This could potentially expand access from the current 35.5% of municipalities to 78.2% and benefit over 6 million people with services like domestic remittances, bill payments, and stored-value accounts. Key challenges include regulation limiting non-bank activities and the potential for dominant players to control the mobile money market.
tew (11.10.18) Planning & revenue management Денис Киркач
The document discusses resource-based development planning and revenue management from extractive industries. It provides an overview of Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), which was established in 2008 to develop practical approaches for international investment to maximize sustainable development impact. The document then outlines topics like resource-based development planning, fiscal tools for sustainability and transparency, experiences with sub-national revenue redistribution systems, designing such systems, and applying the lessons to Ukraine.
The document discusses resource revenue management and redistribution to sub-national governments. It provides an overview of reasons for sub-national redistribution including recognizing local claims, compensating for negative impacts, and promoting economic development. It then examines different models countries use for redistribution, including derivation-based systems that allocate a share of revenues based on production location, and indicator-based systems that use development indicators. The document discusses factors for determining how much to redistribute and strategies for avoiding inequalities between resource and non-resource regions.
The document discusses financial inclusion and literacy in India. It defines financial inclusion as ensuring access to appropriate financial products and services for vulnerable groups. Financial literacy and inclusion are described as twin pillars, with literacy stimulating demand and inclusion supplying services. The Reserve Bank of India's strategies for financial inclusion include refining credit delivery, strengthening credit absorption, leveraging technology, and increasing access points like business correspondents in villages. Financial literacy initiatives involve education programs, outreach events, and collaboration between government, banks, and other organizations.

This document discusses the role central banks and commercial banks can play in promoting green investment and transitioning to a greener economy. It outlines how banks create money through lending and how central banks influence monetary policy. It then presents three policy instruments central banks could use: 1) macroprudential regulation, 2) influencing green credit creation through tools like refinancing and quotas, and 3) green quantitative easing where central banks directly finance green projects. The document provides examples of countries using these approaches and discusses both the opportunities and limitations central banks face in promoting green transitions.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

Boosting Microcredit
1. BOOSTING MICROCREDIT: FINANCIAL SECTOR CHALLENGES European Commission/European Savings Banks Group Meeting Brussels, 12 December 2008 Javier Úbeda Head of Obra Social and Pledging Credit Spanish Confederation of Savings Banks (CECA)
3. IN THE LAST SIX YEARS... No. of Loans 10,008 Sum of Loans (in millions of euros) 93.48
4. BASIC 2007 STATISTICS 3,085 24.18 Sum of loans (in millions of euros) Loans granted during the year
5. BASIC 2007 STATISTICS Average interest rate 4.86 Average delinquency rate 10.96% In 75% of the cases, delinquency in payment was less than 7.5%
6. BASIC 2007 STATISTICS Business Sector Trade Hotel and catering Personal services Other sectors (less than 10%) Total 27.02 12.41 10.89 49.68 100.00 %
8. BASIC 2007 STATISTICS Latin America Africa European Union Asia Other regions Total 64.6 14.9 12.3 0.9 7.3 100.0 Immigrant's region of origin worldwide %
9. BASIC 2007 STATISTICS Immigrants Persons in long-term unemployment Single-parent households Unemployed youth Minorities Other Total 84.74 7.80 3.20 0.74 0.34 0.05 100.00 Type of recipient %
10. BASIC 2007 STATISTICS A 35 year old woman from Latin America requests an 8,000-euro loan to start-up a business: this is the dominant profile among individuals granted microcredit by Savings Banks.
12. BACKGROUND Through the Spanish Confederation of Savings Banks (CECA), the Savings Banks have signed one microcredit agreement after another with Spain's Official Credit Institute (ICO) Main contribution: guarantees On their own, the Savings Banks have signed myriad agreements with local Governments Main contribution: vicinity-specific knowledge
13. BACKGROUND CECA currently holds a framework agreement with the Spanish Women's Institute which Savings Banks are free to join at their choosing Main contribution: loan analyses and studies A ministerial order whereby the State would take on the financial costs entailed in microcredit loans is currently under consideration
14. FUTURE OUTLOOK The lack of an integrated microcredit policy is going to make it very difficult for this activity to take off in the short and long term The financial crisis will answer doubts about whether microcredit serves more for social inclusion purposes or as a tool for entrepreneurs Whether or not an integrated policy is set into place and regardless, in large part, of the financial crisis, the Savings Banks will continue to grant microcredit, though likely at a slower rate
15. THE CHALLENGE For microcredit to be included in the product portfolios customarily offered by financial institutions, and by Savings Banks in particular The simple will or commitment of financial institutions will not suffice to achieve this objective; a true microfinance sector must be created in Spain This will require coordination between all governmental bodies to ensure that no effort is wasted and no resource squandered
