Leader Dialogue Series - Interview with Michael Schlein, President and CEO of Accion

Leader Dialogue Series - Interview with Michael Schlein, President and CEO of Accion

 

Learn from Michael Schlein, President and CEO of Accion, about the struggle against poverty globally and the importance of digitalization in post-COVID-19 reconstruction. 

“In our lifetime we have seen poverty go down… over several decades. We’ve seen the greatest reduction of poverty ever in human history until today. Since the pandemic we’ve seen this trend go in the wrong direction…so the work that the IFC does, the work Accion does…the work that the members of the SME Forum do is more urgent today than ever before.” 

The SME Finance Forum’s Leader Dialogues is a series of one-on-one interviews with CEOs, senior executives of financial institutions and technology companies as well as financial sector regulators.
