Zeti sees need for responsible finance to shape social outcomes

Zeti: Most important is for finance to be aligned to its ultimate goal of serving humanity and uplifting social wellbeing.

KUALA LUMPUR: There is a compelling need for finance to have a greater role in shaping responsible behaviour that underpins a stable and well-functioning economy and advances the goals of a progressive society and sustainable environment, says Bank Negara Malaysia Governor.

Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said finance, if not anchored to the aim of creating sustainable value in the real economy, would become inherently unstable and destabilising to the ultimate goals of greater shared prosperity.
