In recent years, there has been renewed interest in consumer protection in financial markets. The rekindled interest in consumer financial protection was sparked by the recent financial crisis in the world’s advanced economies and also by the rapid growth of financial products in the world’s emerging markets. This panel will feature current research on consumer protection and insurance markets. It will touch upon a range of topics, including insurance literacy and financial education, the design and marketing of consumer insurance products, and the potential for insurance markets to supplant consumer protection regulation in other markets.
