How the Financial Sector Can Help Tackle Economic Inequality
Rising inequality poses systemic risks to economies and financial markets. Yet investors, financial institutions and policymakers often lack clarity on their role. This interactive workshop brings together financial sector actors to explore practical levers for change — from capital allocation and stewardship to policy engagement and disclosure — and to identify concrete next steps.
Framing this topic
This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.
Economic inequality has reached critical levels globally, with implications for financial stability, sovereign risk, and long-term returns. Investors are uniquely positioned to drive change — through how they allocate capital, engage companies and sovereigns, and influence policy. The TISFD framework offers a new tool for making inequality risks and impacts legible across financial portfolios. This session explores what action looks like in practice.
