Global Cooperative Finance Summit

Finance (banking, insurance, microfinance), like agriculture, is an area of economic activity where cooperatives are very active, serving the needs of their communities and contributing to the real economy. In addition to providing an opportunity for financial cooperative leaders to meet, the Summit will highlight the need for national and international regulatory authorities to give greater consideration to the realities of cooperatives.
