Financial Education Summit 2008 in Beijing Nov. 25-26

The Citi-FT Financial Education Summit for 2008 is on the theme of Reducing Financial Vulnerability: Innovation and Impact. Sounds like a necessary and intriguing topic to discuss during these hard economic times. As in other fields, though, I wonder how much structural problems such as economic downturns, come down to education and individual behavior or are due more to systemic challenges that need to be fixed within relevant institutions?

As always, report back to BOP Source if you're able to make it to Beijing for the conference.
