Savings & Credit Forum

Page Content Since 1996 the Savings and Credit Forum is organized twice a year by HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation on behalf of SDC. It is a training and exchange event with participants from SDC, Swiss NGOs, consultants and academics. They are given the opportunity to get experts' views on themes related to savings and credit institutions and financial sector development. It is also a unique occasion for actors in Switzerland to exchange experiences and opinions. On this page you can find the programmes, presentations, and related documents of the past Savings and Credit Fora and the announcement of upcoming Fora.
