Financial Services

Of particular importance to the Council is the region's financial services industry. The financial services, insurance and real estate industries employ over 400,000 people throughout the region. Financial services has been a growth industry over the past decade in New England, which has made it a vital economic driver in the region. From the birth of mutual funds to the growth of 401k’s to the presence of the most noted insurance companies in the world, New England has long been associated with both tradition and innovation of financial services.

In order to strengthen our advocacy the Council formed a Financial Services Committee to provide a forum for the diverse financial services industry in New England to meet, discuss and advocate for public policy priorities that will strengthen the industry. Over the past several years, the Council has been active on a variety of issues of importance to the region including pension reform, terrorism insurance, privacy and tort reform.
