Finance Watch was founded in 2011 by members of the European Parliament as a counterbalance to the financial lobby.[1] Its mission is "to strengthen the voice of society in the reform of financial regulation by conducting advocacy and presenting public interest arguments to lawmakers and the public as a counterweight to the private interest lobbying of the financial industry".[2]
