The statement, “Key elements of Reforming the Financial System” sets out the principle proposals of UNI Finance for re-shaping the financial system and overcoming the financial crisis. This statement is directed at trade union members, key stakeholders and the public at large. The statement is also attached as a leaflet.



A complementary key issues paper “For a Responsible and Sustainable Finance Industry” elaborates UNI Finance’s policies in greater detail. Issues addressed are:



· Employees at the centre of responsible and sustainable finance industry.

· A bottom-up approach to supervision and transparency.

· Restructuring and remuneration.

· Stabilising and reforming the financial system.

· Financial education.



The purpose of this paper is to bring UNI Finance policies together to serve as a foundation for representations to international and regional institutions, governments, financial supervisors and regulators at all levels. It is also the basis for dialogue with banks and insurance companies around the world.



The key UNI Finance policies are also reflected in the Declaration of the Global Unions for the G20 London Summit on 2 April.
