The workshop on Financial Governance for Innovation and Social Inclusion brought together international economists working on issues related to "Reorienting Financial Reform" and "Re-shaping Financial Institutions for Innovation and Development" - under the Reforming Global Financial Governance initiative of the Ford Foundation. 

On Day 1, the workshop kicked off with a policy dialogue in UK House of Commons (Parliament), hosted by Shadow Business Minister Chi Onwurah MP and attended by parliamentarians, policy-makers, civil society organisations and the media. The discussion considered how financial governance for innovation and social inclusion is a key policy priority in order to make sure that innovation is not only smart, but also inclusive and sustainable.
