Financial participation in the EU: Indicators for benchmarking

This report is based on recent Foundation research into financial participation, incorporating the eight general principles outlined by the Commission in its framework Communication. It outlines the scale of financial participation across the European Union, highlights differences in national policies and pinpoints characteristics that could act as barriers to the widespread uptake of financial participation schemes. The overall objective is to develop a set of indicators to facilitate benchmarking of financial participation policies and practices across the EU.
