Finanse w koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju

This article presents the concept of sustainable development that might be defined as a tool leading to not only a favorable economic growth, but also the elimination of disproportions within a society in the long run. In this context, the social and economic inclusion of all existing social groups, as well as maintaining safety in terms of environmental protection seem to be important. Such practices, known as an inclusive growth, are frequently practiced by public and private institutions. In this publication, the special focus is put on the importance of finance in the concept of sustainable development. The authors try to prove the hypothesis that it is the financial system (financial institutions, financial markets and avoidable regulations) that plays a main role in the realization of goals of sustainable development.
