With the end of the East India Company's monopoly of trade to China in 1834, relations with the Celestial Empire came under the direction of the Foreign Secretary in London, who appointed a Superintendent of Trade, subsequently British Plenipotentiary and also, under the Colonial Office, Governor of Hong Kong. In Southeast Asia, no similar arrangements were made. The three Straits Settlements remained under the Company's administration, with a Governor controlled by the Supreme Government in India, between 1834 and 1851 via the subordinate Bengal Government. The "foreign relations" of the Settlements in regard to indigenous states tended to be handled by the Company's or by naval officers. Relations with the Dutch were handled in London and The Hague by the Foreign Office and its envoys. At various times the appointment was urged of a Superintendent or Plenipotentiary or Commissioner to conduct British diplomacy in South-east Asia, but none ever eventuated. This may seem an unimportant point. But it calls attention to certain basic traditions in British policy in Southeast Asia, as distinct from China, and the fact that the appointment was not made despite pressure for it calls attention to a challenge to these traditions in the little studied mid-century period, a challenge, however, never pressed hard and ultimately only partly successful.

This research was motivated by the need to identify what is the relationship between organizational support provided by the Superintendence of the Public Administrative Expenses Management – SUGESP to its servants, the perception of servants of this support and to the concepts of sustainability. The general objective is to assess the relationship between the organizational support offered by SUGESP and the perception of employees. Theoretical aspects were addressed, such as the theory of Organizational Support, the conceptualization of the importance of employee satisfaction for the success of organizations, the Theory of Organizational Support, concepts of Public Administration and sustainable development. The methodology employed is quantitative approach, the search strategy used was the case study and study procedures were done through document analysis. Data collection was carried out by applying a self-administered questionnaire to a sample of employees working at SUGESP, as well as with the managers of the Superintendence. At the end of the research, it was identified that the average responses from the interviewed employees point out that they are indifferent to the perception of organizational support, while the manager, in the direct affirmative questions, identifies that the support offered is indifferent. In the inverse affirmative questions, he agrees that there is effective support. It was also identified that approximately 56% of the employees do not have a clear understanding of the concepts of sustainability, a fact that influences the achievement of objectives and goals defined by managers.

As part of its Global Policy Initiative, Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) partnered with the Superintendence of Banks, Insurance and AFPs of Peru in late 2008, with the purpose of enhancing the understanding of the issues and trends in consumer relations when financial services are delivered through branchless banking, particularly through agents, which are used in ever increasing scale in Peru. The product was this joint report. Three other countries with relevant experience in branchless banking (Kenya, Brazil and India) participated in a similar exercise at approximately the same time. As in the case of Peru, the exercise gave an opportunity for regulators of each jurisdiction to look at their regulatory and institutional framework for protecting branchless banking users, evaluate their regulatory and supervisory actions, and identify areas for improvements. A forthcoming CGAP focus note complements the effort, by making an overall evaluation of the lessons learned in these countries and drawing on the knowledge from other pioneer countries such as South Africa, Mexico, Colombia and the Philippines. The focus note will point out and address priority areas of concern and possible regulatory and policy options to address them. The first part of the report outlines the financial inclusion efforts currently being undertaken by the Superintendence. The following section summarizes the most important points of the legal and regulatory framework for financial consumer protection, pointing out any specificity of branchless banking. The third part describes the branchless banking business in Peru and describes the issues and problems identified in the relationship between branchless banking clients and providers, and the supervisory and enforcement implications. The last section draws conclusions and makes recommendations for achieving a balance between openness to innovation and protection in a branchless banking environment.

The enactment of Law 1480 issued in 2011, in which the legislator renewed the court action for financial consumer protection, allows it to create, based on a full-time task devoted to this function, an independent forum that examines the contractual disputes between consumers and the financial entities supervised by the Superintendence in the context of financial, stock-market and insurance activities. However, the roll out of the new procedure, along with the interpretations by administrative judges, requires analysis of the applicable regulation and comparable state-of-the-art regulations in order to comprehend its impact on consumer protection. ; La expedición de la Ley 1480 de 2011 remozó la acción jurisdiccional de protección al consumidor financiero para que, basado en una delegatura de dedicación exclusiva, surgiera un foro independiente que examinara las controversias contractuales surgidas entre consumidor y entidades vigiladas por la Superintendencia Financiera, en el marco de la actividad financiera, bursátil y aseguradora. Empero, la aplicación del procedimiento judicial aunado a interpretaciones del mismo fallador administrativo, requieren un análisis de la regulación aplicable y el estado actual del arte en esta versión de justicia, para dimensionar su impacto en la protección del consumidor.
