Maximizing the Potential of Financial Inclusion
The world has recently faced many unprecedented shocks and stresses that have exacerbated existing development challenges—all of which have disproportionate impacts on the most vulnerable, especially women and girls. Against the backdrop of such a challenging global context, financial inclusion is an essential foundation for building a more inclusive, resilient, and green world. The advancement of digital economies and digital inclusion, as well as the increase of socially minded investments, provide hope, while innovations in digital financial services are helping redefine what inclusive financial ecosystems look like, and how they can be used as an enabler of many UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and broader development outcomes. CGAP works on many aspects of financial inclusion and on its intersection with many development challenges. Below you’ll find more information about the topics we have been working on.
