Prosperity
Mission.
To promote a sustainable economic system where everyone has the opportunity to prosper.
Introducing key challenges.
We’ve built an economic system where money is the commodity for accessing basic services and for participating in social life. There are two clear challenges for having a truly inclusive and sustainable economic system.
On the one hand, we need to incorporate people to the economic system by giving them access to education, credit and basic economic activities. On the other, we need to redefine the role of investment, using all the power of the public and private sectors to solve the main social and environmental problems we are facing.
Share of educated population older than 15 years (% of population).
If we look the global picture, great progress has been made in terms of education. At a global level, 80% of population older than 15 years of age has received at least some basic formal education.
Early leaver from education in Europe (% of population).
Despite many of the EU countries having hit the European target for education, some countries, like Spain, have major problems such as drop-outs from education and training, with rates in excess of 15%, well above the European average.
Sustainable Development Goals Funding Gap ($5 Trillion).
Currently, it is calculated that the financing gap needed to leverage SDG outcomes ranges from $2.5T to $3.6T. Therefore, it is mandatory to imagine new creative ways to distribute capital that are in line with the priorities of the 2030 Agenda.
Globally unbanked population (Millions adults).
1.7 billion adults lack a bank account in the world in 2017. Nearly half of all unbanked adults live in seven countries: China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
