GBA Presses for Progress with 2018 IWD Campaign

1 Minute Read

In a weeklong celebration of International Women’s Day, GBA rolled out a series of animated gifs previewing insights from our forthcoming Global Women’s Market Data Survey.

The images highlight the GBA’s reach with the Women’s Market, the opportunity represented by the female economy both in business and retail banking, and the progress our banks are making in providing specialized non-financial services to women as well as around diversity and inclusion. Additional preview images dug into what we’ve found about women’s non-performing loan rates, loan-to-deposit ratios, and performance comparisons between banks with mature programs and banks just starting out. Take a look at the collection below, and look for the full report next month:
