As 3.24 Billion Women Gain Financial and ... - Business Review USA

FARMINGTON, Conn., Aug. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- There are currently 3.24 billion females worldwide, and it is estimated that around 50% of women in the world, 1.6 billion, are economically active. The segment of affluent women ? senior executives, board members, property owners and entrepreneurs ? is growing and wielding increasing economic power. There is substantial evidence that the female financial market is becoming increasingly populated, dynamic and affluent. However, many private and retail banks, credit card providers and insurance companies have still not actively targeted this sector, and there is a wide gap in the financial service offerings that are exclusively targeted towards women.
