This year, ConsumerCentriX continued to contribute to the global dialogue on inclusive finance and entrepreneurship by sharing evidence-based insights and practical lessons learned from field experience, as well as contributing to collective strategies that can scale inclusion sustainably.
Throughout 2025, we engaged in several high-level forums that convened governments, central banks, and private-sector leaders. At the United Nations General Assembly’s Bridgefort Dialogues, co-hosted with the Aspen Institute, ConsumerCentriX highlighted the shift from financial access to financial empowerment, emphasizing that lasting inclusion requires systemic collaboration rather than isolated interventions. At the Global SME Finance Forum, we presented the WSME Segmentation Framework and Toolkit and the INVEST SME Banking Toolkit as examples of how gender-intentional design can help financial institutions expand their markets while deepening social impact.
A major highlight of the year was our strong presence at the Financial Alliance for Women Summit, where our contributions to work on gender-disaggregated data and the WE Finance Code were featured prominently across sessions. We shared practical insights from Bangladesh, Nigeria, the Dominican Republic, and Mongolia, showcasing how national dashboards are driving evidence-based action for women’s financial inclusion. At the Knowledge Café, co-hosted with the Alliance and the WE Finance Code Initiative, we introduced two tools developed by ConsumerCentriX, the WSME Business Case Tool and the Data Mapping Tool, alongside the WSME Segmentation Framework and Toolkit. These contributions reflected our ongoing commitment to translating data into solutions and to advancing the global dialogue on inclusive finance through collaboration and shared learning.
We also participated in the Alliance for Financial Inclusion Global Policy Forum, supporting central banks in developing strategies for integrating gender data, and at the FELABAN Sustainable Finance Forum in the Dominican Republic, where we shared lessons on partnership models and cross-regional learning. Across these platforms, the message remained consistent: inclusion succeeds when financial ecosystems are designed to listen, learn, and adapt.
This growing visibility marked an important evolution for ConsumerCentriX. The organisation’s voice now bridges practice and policy, offering tangible lessons from implementation to inform high-level dialogue. Through our global contributions in 2025, we helped shape not only the conversation about inclusive finance but also the standards by which progress is measured, anchoring our role as both a technical partner and a thought leader in the journey toward equitable financial systems.
