"Economic crisis and development, fair profit, saving and trust in the financial markets: new proposals for ethics in finance", is the conference scheduled for today at 15 pm at the Milan Press Club. Sponsored by the Lombardy Region and the Province of Milan, it aims to compare two apparently distant worlds which nevertheless are required to confront each other and question themselves on how to balance moral values and economic interest. In a historical and economic moment in which finance has been held responsible for the global economic crisis and for the changes in the political structures of various nations which have had to take very precise positions with respect to it, reflection on the ethical behavior of finance is absolutely necessary .
The real possibility of a market in which ethics has a preponderant value, more important than any written rule. Contracts and negotiations, benefits and insurance coverage, the right of every citizen to access credit, ethical funds and the relationship between saver and financial advisor. The economic crisis as a brake on the resources to be allocated to development and essential services and the theme of ethical finance aimed at excluding companies involved in interventions such as the production of weapons from the portfolio of mutual investment funds will be the starting points for this new debate.
