Policymakers and practitioners face a host of challenges in the financial sector, from achieving stability to promoting growth, developing diversity, and improving regulation. While no country or institution holds the answers to these questions, the Financial Sector Learning Program has played a valuable role in building dialogue across countries and between the public and private sector. Participants share the lessons they have learned from experiences in their own countries and collaborate to define best practices in the financial | Â | sector and build communities of practice for addressing policy problems. Since its inception in 2000, the program has combined skills training with policy dialogue to promote the healthy development and regulation of banking systems, capital markets, insurance, contractual savings, pension industries, and payment and financial technologies. The program also promotes awareness of best practices to counter money-laundering and the financing of terrorism. |
