The Conclave featured representatives from across the financial space – central ministries, regulators, bankers, start-ups, investors, service providers and entrepreneurs. Mr Shaktikanta Das, Governor of RBI inaugurated the Conclave in the presence of Mr Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog and Mr Subhash Chandra Garg, Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance. Giving the keynote address on ‘Opportunities and Challenges of FinTech’, Mr Das noted that FinTech has the potential to reshape the financial services and financial inclusion landscape in India in fundamental ways.

By enabling technologies and managing risks, we can help create a new financial system which is more inclusive, cost-effective and resilient.” Mr Kant noted the need to evolve regulatory and policy paradigms keeping in mind the need of nearly 450 million millennials of India to access institutional credit and charting out the future of fintech in India in light of digital technologies such as block chain and artificial intelligence.

    1 RORY STEWART ANDREW MARR SHOW 16TH JUNE 2019 RORY STEWART AM: Welcome. It’s a fairly diverse field at the moment, but nonetheless, if you make it through to the last two that’s two Old Etonians who both went to Balliol College, Oxford, in the last two. It’s hardly diverse. Would the country not be better off choosing, for instance, a Pakistani bus driver’s son? RS: I think you’re right to point to that. I would say by all means focus on the five years that I spent at school, but also look at the five years that I spent in Afghanistan, look at the five years that I spent serving my country in Iraq and in the Balkans, and let’s look at me overall. AM: So your biggest idea in terms of the great big Brexit conundrum facing the country is a citizens’ assembly. This would be chosen sort of randomly by poll. Just explain just exactly how it would work. RS: So two stages: first thing is to get parliament to try to get Brexit through. In the end we live in a parliamentary democracy so we have to begin by convening parliament, and if I’m lucky enough to be elected as leader I would come in with a mandate from the Conservative Party members, the associations of the country, and I could make a different request to Conservative members than the prime minister perhaps was able to in the past. And I would hope also the results of the European elections would make Members of Parliament realise that we need to get Brexit done and get that deal passed.

    Rt Hon Rory Stewart OBE MP House of Commons London SW1A 0AA 14 May 2019 Dear Secretary of State, Don’t privatise aid: protect UK aid spending to eradicate global inequalities, not boost profits for British businesses We write to you as members of the UK Fight Inequality Alliance to congratulate you on your appointment, and to set out how we would like to work with you. We are a collective of civil society organisations, trade unions and campaigners who are deeply concerned about the impact of shocking levels of inequality both here in the UK and across the globe, and the current lack of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Firstly, we would like to take the opportunity to thank you for declaring your commitment to the UK’s 0.7% spend on overseas aid, as well as for identifying climate change as one of DfID’s most important challenges. Nonetheless, the narrative that emerged from your predecessor and a number of other senior politicians continues to cause concern for those of us committed to reducing global inequality. Namely, this is the narrative that promotes “redefining” what is meant by aid in order to allow British businesses to profit from Overseas Development Assistance (ODA). Following the National Audit Office’s report into PFI and PF2, Philip Hammond used this year’s Spring Statement to once again decry the legacy of the Private Finance Initiative and launch a review into the private financing of public services and infrastructure here in the UK. Meanwhile, the Department for International Development (DfID) continues to promote private sector financing as a primary means to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the global south.

  • The Heroic Failure of British Leaders

    The Heroic Failure of British Leaders

    Centro de Estudios y Documentación InternacionalesCentro de Barcelona E-ISSN 2014-0843 B-8438-2012 D.L.: opinión THE HEROIC FAILURE OF BRITISH 581 LEADERS JUNE 2019 Francis Ghiles, Associate Senior Researcher, CIDOB n Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, John Le Carré offered an acute portrayal of the British establishment’s experience of post-war decline – “Trained to empire, trained to rule the waves. All gone. All taken away. Bye-bye world.” Nostal- Igia for the country’s imperial past is the horror of finding the tables turned. As Fintan O’Toole noted in Heroic Failure: Brexit and the Politics of Pain (London, Head of Zeus, 2018), leaving the European Union is akin to an army retreating to the islands with the spoils, except that large parts of the island, not least Scotland, strongly disagree. One of the most remarkable things about Brexit is the imagi- nary oppression which underlies it. Two weeks ago, during his state visit to London, the US president, Donald Trump, humiliated the British repeatedly, not least by tweeting gratuitous insults about the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and a patronising attitude to the Prime Min- ister, Teresa May. When he launched his now failed bid for the Tory leadership last week, Dominic Raab stated “we’ve been humiliated as a country”. Observers might have concluded that this was a reaction to President Trump’s insults but such was not the case. His barb was aimed at the European Union. To save nation- al honour demands the country takes the pain of a no-deal Brexit. Newspaper headlines speak of collective abasement –“Humiliating to have to beg” or “Brexit and the prospect of humiliation”, the list is endless.
