Sep 23, 2009 - Almost one year after financial market turmoil triggered a financial and economic crisis in the countries of the European Union (EU), many reforms of the financial sector are still not in place and destabilising practices are continuing. Political agreements at several high-level international and European meetings still need to become legally binding through EU directives and the subsequent incorporation into national laws. Will the financial sector reforms currently proposed at the EU level guarantee financial stability and protect the real economy from financial speculators? More importantly, will they create financial instruments at the service of the public interest and sustainable societies, and tackle the systemic causes that also are related to the food, environmental and poverty crisis?

Feb 02, 2009 - De financiële wereld verkeert in zwaar weer. Banken hebben de afgelopen jaren onverantwoorde financiële risico’s genomen met verstrekkende negatieve gevolgen voor het vertrouwen binnen de financiële sector zelf, maar ook onder consumenten. Naast financiële risico´s hebben banken ook te maken met milieu-, sociaaleconomische en politieke risico’s. Uit nieuw onderzoek van SOMO naar de beleggingen van de vijf grootste Nederlandse retailbanken en twee duurzame banken blijkt dat, ondanks de omvangrijke duurzaamheidsverslagen en de ruime keuze aan duurzame beleggingsproducten, maatschappelijk verantwoord beleggen bij de grote Nederlandse banken nog in de kinderschoenen staat.

May 05, 2006 - In the process of the GATS negotiations, the EU has been making requests to many developing countries to liberalise its financial services sectors. Liberalisation under GATS means more than market opening for services by foreign financial firms (banks, insurance companies, pension fund management, mutual funds, etc.). GATS is mainly about giving foreign service providers, including the financial industry, more freedom to invest so that foreign services can be provided.

Apr 16, 2005 - This SOMO report critically analyses the functioning and regulation of banks, insurance companies and other firms in the financial industry. Although the financial industry is a crucial player in corporate globalisation, e.g. through its “investment banking”, civil society scantly monitors the private financial sector. This report aims at explaining the terms used in the private financial sector and increasing the understanding of its functioning. More specifically, the report focuses on trends, structures, strategies, regulations and corporate social responsibility initiatives at the international level. The analysis clearly identifies “critical issues” that reveal the negative effects of the financial industry on society, developing countries, poverty eradication, and sustainable development.
