Panel Discussion 6:Social Responsibility for Financial Health

The financial health of MSMEs and individuals is related to the stability of the entire financial market, and is also fundamental to promoting high-quality economic development. By improving the financial health of their employees and their customers, companies can contribute to improving the overall well-being of society. Academic research has confirmed that supporting and focusing on financial health helps companies achieve their own social responsibility (CSR) goals and is a reflection of their commitment to social responsibility. At the macro level, studying and improving the overall financial health of the residential sector can help unleash the potential of public consumption, effectively alleviate the pressure on the social security system, and ultimately improve social welfare.


How should companies improve the financial health of their employees?

How can companies with a large number of To C customers design products that are conducive to the long-term financial health of their customer base?

How is Financial Health empowering the financial capability of MSMEs and individuals?
