Amidst the rapidly evolving digital landscape, addressing the financial needs of unbanked and underbanked populations is paramount for fostering widespread financial inclusion. Digitisation plays a pivotal role in rendering financial services more accessible, affordable, and convenient for all. However, the importance of deliberately designing digital financial services with inclusivity at their core cannot be overstated.
This session brings together regulatory leaders from the global south to shed light on the imperative to reimagine and reformulate traditional approaches to financial inclusion. The dialogue will explore innovative strategies and new paradigms necessary to collectively achieve comprehensive and inclusive financial services in an increasingly digital world.
