Leonardo Burlamaqui - Financial Governance for Innovation and Social Inclusion
Channel: Rethinking the State
Date: 2013-12-10

Leonardo Burlamaqui (Ford Foundation) spoke about the lessons from the global financial crisis and the kind of reforms that are needed in order to recast private finance into a productive sector. He argued that the new financial architecture in the making has public institutions at the core, with the State not only supervising, but also shaping, creating and keeping the market running.

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.
