In October 2016, the Principles for Responsible Investment published Sustainable Financial System: Nine Priority Conditions to Address. As a prelude to its ten-year Blueprint for Responsible Investment due for release in March 2017, the PRI has identified nine key issues that it views as essential to address to facilitate the creation of a sustainable financial system. Among these are short-term investment objectives, capture of government policy by vested interests, and a culture of financialization and rent-seeking in market actors. This publication is part of the PRI’s program for “monitoring the drivers of change that could influence the financial system and measurement frameworks.”
