About social finance
Seminar in Insurance and Economics
SPEAKER: Corina Constantinescu (University of Liverpool).
TITLE: About social finance.
ABSTRACT: As I am spending my sabbatical year in the Social Finance programme of the International Labour Organization, I would like to highlight some of the new risk management tools and financial products developed in the field of social finance. Social finance is an approach to managing investments that generate financial returns while including measurable positive social and environmental impact. It includes microfinance and microinsurance (financial inclusion) which direct financial instruments to underserved communities.
