11:25 | Fred Barbash-Moderator - Our guest today is Jamie M. Zimmerman, who brings unique knowledge of efforts such as microfinance to reduce poverty and promote financial inclusion in developing nations.
She is Deputy Director of the Global Assets Project, a joint venture of the Asset Building Program at the New America Foundation and the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis. The project, launched in 2006, aims to inform and stimulate global asset-building innovations among the increasingly integrated areas of microfinance, financial education, social policy, and commercial financial services. Ms. Zimmerman develops and manages the project’s efforts to advance savings and asset-building policies and initiatives around the world.
She'll take questions for 30 minutes starting at noon. We invite you to submit questions in advance. Thanks for participating.
