The German government has committed to using their presidency of the G20 in 2017 to address the issue of consumer empowerment in the digital economy. Consumers International, the international federation of consumer organisations, and its German Member organisation (VZBV) are leading partners in the initiative.<\/p>\n
One of the key activities that the German government is funding is a piece of research and polling that will form a major input into the G20 discussions. This research will be instrumental in helping shape the focus and approach of the G20 initiative.<\/p>\n
The research will consist of two parts:
\n– An indicator study that highlights the key areas where governments can take action to support consumers in the digital age. This will be based on desk research and interviews with CI members and other stakeholders.
\n– International polling in six G20 countries to understand consumers\u2019 perspectives on issues of consumer empowerment and protection (the proposed countries are Argentina, China, Germany, France, South Africa and the United States).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
