The Inclusion and Financial Education Committee (Mesa de Inclusión y Educación Financiera, MIEF) is an initiative that Depósito Central de Valores has promoted since 2020 thanks to collaborative work with all the players in the country's financial industry.
More than 120 journalists and communicators from all over the country gathered in the course's first session for journalists in the financial world. The initiative is led by Centro de Estudios Financieros (CEF), ESE Business School of Universidad de los Andes. It is supported by the Inclusion and Financial Education Committee MIEF), an entity that Depósito Central de Valores (DCV) has promoted since 2020 along with 11 other institutions in the financial world.
This free program which will take place on Fridays until August 11, seeks to educate communicators in economics concepts and improve the quality of information on the financial system. Four sessions will be held to address economic and financial topics of high impact in our country, led by renowned speakers in the area.
In this first session, Sebastián Claro talked about "Regulatory changes in international banking and their effects." The presentation, with the attendance of 125 journalists and communicators, was moderated by Pilar Concha, General Manager of the Chilean Association of Investment Funds Administrators (ACAFI), and the opening remarks were in charge of Juan Jaime Díaz, Chair of the National Press Association (ANP).
Juan Jaime Díaz said that "journalism plays a vital role in communicating and providing information about the financial and economic reality of the country. Today more than ever, we have greater responsibility because misinformation is setting us new challenges."
During his presentation, Sebastián Claro pointed out that the main challenge today for the banking industry is the means of payment. "We must move forward towards modern and flexible means of payment without leaving aside a safe regulation for people. This interconnection is a great challenge, possibly the greatest of the Fintec law in what is currently called open banking."
The course for journalists continues next Friday, July 28, with a second presentation called "The end of zero rates: Is the world in high debt? Who is paying?," in charge of José Luis Daza, Ph.D. in economics at the University of Georgetown, moderated by Javier Jara, Legal and Corporate Affairs Manager of DCV.
