The Consortium on Financial Systems and Poverty at the University of Chicago is dedicated to improving the lives of the world’s poor by connecting rigorous research on financial services to sound policy making.
The primary goal of CFSP is to facilitate and generate research on financial systems and the poor. CFSP accomplishes this through supporting research that focuses on three areas as they relate to the poor: savings and other financial services, macro and regulatory issues, and mobile banking.
