Long before Bill Gates gave his "creative capitalism" speech at Davos, the Financial Times and the IFC had been spreading the word through the annual FT/IFC Sustainable Banking Awards.
Although it is tough to compete with Gates when it comes to getting media attention, this year's awards will include a new category: "Banking at the bottom of the pyramid," which will acknowledge financial institutions that create innovative products to serve the poor.
The deadline for submissions is February 29. Details on their Web site.
