The Financial Inclusion Centre has created a new unit called the Financial Inclusion and Markets Centre to focus on financial services policy and regulation, financial market reform, and evaluating the economic, environmental, and social utility of finance. The new unit also covers work evaluating the impact of developments at the intersection of finance and technology including AI.
We will continue to prioritise our impactful, practical front-line work on financial inclusion. However, it is clear that what happens ‘up-stream’ in financial markets affects communities and households, and promoting sustainable financial inclusion and resilience requires developing policies to reform financial markets. The new structure better reflects the balance of our work in recent years. In other words, the Financial Inclusion and Markets Centre is the ‘think-tank’ to the Financial Inclusion Centre’s ‘do-tank’.
The Financial Inclusion Centre remains the name of the non-profit organisation and the main legal and operating entity.
The inclusion work is led by Co-Director Gareth Evans gareth.evans@inclusioncentre.org.uk while Co-Director Mick McAteer mick.mcateer@inclusioncentre.org.uk leads on the policy work, although the whole team will continue to collaborate and work across the two different main areas.
Please note that The Centre is not an advice agency and cannot provide advice or help to individual consumers.
