A Financial Architecture that Supports the Social Economy Sample Clauses

A Financial Architecture that Supports the Social Economy. Finally, civil society leaders highlighted the critical need and opportunity to promote an economy that respects diverse social communities and lives within the planet‟s boundaries. The fundamental challenge for the G20 is to change the direction of growth to support People-Centered Economies. This vision requires a new paradigm of development, new mechanisms and enabling incentives. An example would be the Canadian experience with cooperatives. Argentina has created its first non-private bank, which will be a cooperative. Different approaches are emerging around the world, from North and South America, and Europe, where cooperatives contribute to between 7 percent and 20 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). Most jobs and development of new companies is in the SME area and Social Economy areas some of these are within the NGO and Community-Based Enterprises. There is a need for a review of laws and policies to support these priorities. SECOND THEMATIC ISSUE: PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY, ENGAGEMENT WITH CIVIL SOCIETY, AND CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY
