SUMMARY:How can the financial sector better serve the needs of society?
DESCRIPTION:Launch of ResPublica’s Latest Report: “Markets for the Many: How civic finance can open up markets and widen access”. Launched with opening remarks by Cathy Jamieson MP\, Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury. \nResPublica is launching its latest report: ‘Markets for the Many: How civic finance could open up markets and widen access’. Supported by the Building Societies Association\, Nationwide\, Yorkshire Building Society\, the Association of Financial Mutuals\, Unity Trust Bank and the CDFA\, this Green Paper sets out how the current financial reform agenda needs go beyond assessing mere financial stability\, as contained in the Banking Reform Act\, and explores the overall ability of the sector to serve customers\, help communities and support small businesses. \nIn order to better serve the needs of society\, the report recommends that the Government pursue policies that permit building societies to lend more to SMEs; allow financial mutuals to raise extra capital to increase competition within the sector; and introduce a Community Reinvestment Act in the next Parliament to maximise lending to our deprived communities. \nThe paper serves to widen the debate around financial reform and to highlight how regulators need\, in order to restore trust and confidence in the sector\, to go beyond the Banking Reform Act and encourage the financial sector to adopt its civic duty within society. \nThe event will commence with a 10-minute keynote speech\, delivered by Cathy Jamieson MP\, Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury\, followed by a panel discussion before opening up the discussion to delegates. Members of the panel include: \n\nDavid Llewellyn\, Professor of Money & Banking at Loughborough University\nRobin Fieth\, Chief Executive\, Building Societies Association\nMartin Shaw\, Chief Executive\, Association of Financial Mutuals\nBen Hughes\, Chief Executive\, Community Development Finance Association\nPeter Kelly\, Business Development and Marketing Director\, Unity Trust Bank\nJeff Prestridge\, Personal Finance Editor\, Mail on Sunday\n\nThe launch will be a private event\, to which we will be inviting high level representatives from across industry\, the charitable sector\, Parliament and the media.

SUMMARY:ResPublica's Holistic Mission report scheduled for debate in the House of Lords
DESCRIPTION:ResPublica is pleased to announce that its recent report\, Holistic Mission: Social action and the Church of England\, has been scheduled for debate in the House of Lords at 3pm on 21st November 2013. \nThe motion “to move that this House takes note of the July 2013 report of ResPublica ‘Holistic Mission: Social Action and the Church of England’” was proposed by the Bishop of Leicester\, Lord Tim Stevens\, and emerged in a ballot recently. \nThe ResPublica report\, which was launched with the Archbishop of Canterbury\, Lord Justin Welby\, and the Minister for Civil Society\, Nick Hurd MP\, argues that the Church must become an enabling institution focussed on holistic\, interpersonal and local social action. The report demonstrates that the Church has a truly unique place in English society\, and is the key to unlocking a revolution in both voluntary and statutory public service provision. The report argues that we need new institutions for the 21st century\, and that the Church is well-placed to become one. \nHolistic Mission can be downloaded for free here and purchased from our shop via this link. The keynote speeches by ResPublica Director\, Phillip Blond\, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Minister for Civil Society\, plus the subsequent panel discussion with the Bishop of Leicester and Shadow Employment Minister\, Stephen Timms MP\, can be viewed here. \nFor further information regarding ResPublica’s work on faith and the Church\, please contact ResPublica’s Head of Research\, Caroline Julian\, at caroline.julian@respublica.org.uk or on 0207 222 6552.

SUMMARY:The Economy of Errors: Can understanding human nature help protect consumers
DESCRIPTION:The Economy of Errors: Can understanding human nature help protect consumers #EconomyOfErrors. \nFinancial regulation and enforcement can be a costly endeavour for financial institutions and regulators. Using techniques trialled in behavioural economics to ‘nudge’ market players into good behaviour could both save money and make for a more ethos driven financial sector. This public panel session will discuss how such a change in regulation may be brought about. Throughout the session\, interactive behavioural ‘games’ will be utilised to improve the overall delegate experience. \nSpeakers:\n\nRt Hon Greg Clark\, Financial Secretary to the Treasury\nDavid Mowat MP\, Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Financial Secretary to the Treasury\nTracey McDermott\, Director of Enforcement and Financial Crime\, FCA\nAndrew Lilico\, Director of European Economics\n\nCo-hosted with Financial Conduct Authority.

DESCRIPTION:4000% Are payday loans ever in the consumer interest? \nOn the back of a recent Office for Fair Trading report on payday loans; the short-term lending sector has come under increased criticism and scrutiny.

SUMMARY:The Community Renewables Economy: Starting up\, scaling up and spinning out
DESCRIPTION:ResPublica is launching its latest report: ‘The Community Renewables Economy: Starting up\, scaling up and spinning out’. Supported by RenewableUK\, Co-operative Energy\, Airvolution and Infinergy\, and drawing on new data based on an independent survey\, the Green Paper sets out the potential GW capacity of community energy in the UK\, and outlines a series of key barriers to market entry. It concludes with a series of innovative policy recommendations for national and local government\, the industry and communities themselves. \nThe paper looks to feed into DECC’s forthcoming Community Energy Strategy\, and the research team has closely engaged with the Energy and Climate Change Committee’s inquiry into Local Energy. \nThe event will take the format of a 10-minute keynote speech\, delivered by the Minister for Energy and Climate Change\, Greg Barker MP\, followed by a panel discussion during which the paper’s author\, practitioners and representatives from across all three major political parties will speak; after this we shall open up the discussion to the delegates. \nThe launch will be a private event\, to which we will be inviting high level representatives from across the industry\, charitable sector\, Parliament and the media.

SUMMARY:Holistic Mission: Social action and the Church of England
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 10th July 2013\, ResPublica launched its latest report\, Holistic Mission: Social Action and the Church of England\, authored by ResPublica Director\, Phillip Blond and ResPublica Research Associate\, James Noyes.

It calls on the Church to see this renewed external role as a vital part of its mission for the 21st Century. \nSupported by The Resurgo Trust\, the report explores the value of the social action performed by groups within and connected to the Church of England. To better inform public debate\, the report offers a comprehensive analysis of this activity\, capturing the diverse forms of civic and social engagement carried out by churches and congregations. \nThe report draws out and reaffirms the national narrative of the social and common good\, and the Church’s role in deepening relationships and meeting the needs of those that the state cannot reach alone. \nThe Archbishop of Canterbury\, Justin Welby\, made an opening speech followed by Nick Hurd MP\, the Minister for Civil Society\, a panel discussion featuring politicians\, including Stephen Timms MP\, the Shadow Minister for Employment and the authors of the report\, James Noyes and Phillip Blond. \nKeynote address by The Archbishop of Canterbury\, Justin Welby\n \nKeynote address by Rt Hon Nick Hurd MP\, Minister for Civil Society\n \nOpening remarks by Phillip Blond\, Director of Respublica\n \nSpeeches by the Panel:\n(left to right) Dr James Noyes\, Research Associate\, ResPublica; Rt Rev’d Tim Stevens\, Bishop of Leicester; Ruth Gledhill\, Religion Correspondent\, The Times; Tom Jackson\, Resurgo Social Ventures; Stephen Timms MP\, Shadow Minister for Employment.

SUMMARY:Can Protection Insurance Kick-start Lending?
DESCRIPTION:On 12th June 2013\, ResPublica will launch its latest publication\, Risk Waiver: closing the protection gap and easing the flow of credit\, which explores the potential for insurance protection products to stimulate the credit market. \nRecent Bank of England of England statistics suggest current Government attempts to stimulate the market are having a limited effect on lending to businesses and consumers. What households and small businesses need is a solution to the credit squeeze that tackles the underlying issue\, namely the presence of credit risk in the market. \nCredit protection products\, such as risk waivers\, provide a valuable means of safeguarding consumer and business loans\, closing the ‘protection gap’ whilst at the same time incentivise financial institutions to increase their spending. Can credit protection products kick-start lending? \nThe event will take place at 10.30am in the Attlee Suite\, Portcullis House. Keynote remarks will be made by Heather Wheeler MP and Ian Liddell-Grainger MP\, followed by a panel discussion with Q&A. \nSpeakers include:\n\nIan Liddell-Grainger MP\, Chair\, APPG on Taxation\nHeather Wheeler MP\, Secretary\, the Insurance and Financial Services APPG\nPaul Walsh\, Chief Executive\, CUNA Mutual Europe\nPhillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica (Chair)\nEmmanuel Mamatzakis\, Professor of Finance\, University of Sussex\n\nFor any further information\, please do not hesitate to get in touch\, at events@respublica.org.uk.
