HRH the Duke of Cambridge interviewed Sir David Attenborough on day two in Davos. Even before Davos started, the scene was set for environmental issues to take centre stage. The Global Risks Report 2019 declared that humanity was ‘sleepwalking its way to catastrophe’ as extreme weather, failure to act on climate change, and natural disasters topped the list. The report also painted a worrying portrait of the deep interconnections between these environmental risks and the level of human health, economic growth, and security.

Center for Financial Inclusion money management      Let me put it a bit brutally, using round numbers for effect:     Many people are willing to pay an all-in cost of 70% for a microloan.     Most people are willing to pay a fee of 7% for a (domestic or international) money transfer.     Most people do not see much value in paying 0.7% in fees for a commercial savings account. Notice the order of magnitude reduction in willingness to pay. A savings account, viewed as an electronic receptacle of value, generates little willingness to pay – unless you need it to get a loan or make money transfers from/to it. It would be much better if micro credit or money transfers were a lot cheaper, but the point is that if people are not able to get better terms, they still find sufficient value in these services to pay quite a bit for them. Not so with United Nations Savings Bank of Interest (UNSBOI). Or, to be more precise, n...
