Ben views the financial system as the engine that has the task to keep an economy vibrant; to serve consumers facing unanticipated expenses, investors making the right choices, and small businesses to expand. He believes that it should create economic opportunities for all participants in society by promoting an entrepreneurial culture. Thus, designing a regulatory framework that ensures the resilience of the financial system and which supports both economic growth as well as individual prosperity is key.
