Empowering Consumers
Author: Task Force on the Future of the Canadian Financial Services Sector
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This paper addresses marketplace factors which are critical for assisting or supporting consumers of financial services in Canada. These factors are: the transparency of transactions and disclosure; privacy of personal information; redress mechanisms; non-coercive sales practices; proficiency standards; and open markets. Particular attention is paid to financial institutions (banks, trust corporations, insurance companies, credit unions) and to financial intermediaries (primarily insurance brokers and agents). The introduction includes discussion of the rationale for focusing on retail consumers and the challenge for public policy in dealing with consumer protection issues. Chapter 2 provides further context by reviewing recent broad market developments. The subsequent chapters examine each of the above factors in turn, and include comparisons with practices in other countries.

Advocacy Groups
Author: Lisa Young
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774840323
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Advocacy Groups uses the Audit standards of responsiveness, inclusiveness, and participation to examine advocacy groups in Canada and assess the ways that they contribute to, or detract from, Canadian democracy. It argues that group activity represents an important form of political participation. Though some interests face greater organizational challenges than others, advocacy groups can play critical compensatory roles for interests that are often unrepresented in traditional political institutions. It also finds that while Canadian advocacy groups employ a wide range of strategies to draw attention to their concerns, those with greater financial resources generally have greater access to government decision-makers. This has been accentuated by recent trends in the reduction of government funding to advocacy groups. The book concludes with several recommendations for 'best practices' that groups can follow in their internal organization and efforts to influence public policy, as well as for actions that governments can take to engage in constructive consultation with groups.

Powering the Digital Economy: Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance
Author: El Bachir Boukherouaa
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1589063953
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 35
Book Description
This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
