Reimagining Fintech Innovation to Accelerate Digital Financial Inclusion
A CONVENING OF THE BELLAGIO WORKING GROUP FOR DIGITAL FINANCIAL INCLUSION
Addressing the current opportunities and barriers to greater financial inclusion
A convene of top policymakers from Indonesia, Nigeria, Egypt, and Mexico along with major global digital financial inclusion specialists to extend access to digital financial services.
The convening will consist of a close examination of each country’s financial inclusion landscape, peer-learning and exchange, and development of a strategy to leverage innovation hubs to expand access and usage of relevant digital financial services by unbanked and underbanked segments in each market.
CONTEXT
This is a follow-up to a July 2019 Bellagio Center meeting titled "Practical Solutions to Accelerating Digital Financial Financial Services for Inclusive Economies," held at the Bellagio Working Group for Digital Financial Inclusion. After two years of virtual sessions, this meeting allows the Working Group to advance common aims.
I think the brainstorming sessions were the strongest elements of this program. It is more than just having a conversation. You learn how to implement what you’ve learned, and you begin leveraging these new relationships to make an impact in your country
