Facilitating Commercial Growth Through Financial Inclusion
According to The World Bank, financial inclusion is a key enabler to reducing poverty and boosting prosperity. Financial inclusion means that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs – transactions, payments, savings, credit and insurance – delivered in a responsible and sustainable way
However, technology is changing the landscape of the financial sector, increasing access to financial services in profound ways, and creating new opportunities for digital financial services to accelerate and enhance financial inclusion, amid social distancing and containment measures. At the same time, the risks emerging prior to COVID-19, as digital financial services developed, are becoming even more relevant.
The financial services sector, through its products and services offerings, not only improves the accessibility of capital formation but also encourages the innovation, efficiency and investment that leads to output growth. Across Africa, we need to take a strategic approach to develop financial inclusion strategies that will bring together financial regulators, founders and relevant stakeholders to increase the pace and impact of reforms that will facilitate commercial growth.
Join Ayobami Olajide, Onyeka Nwobu, Benjamin Dada and Olayinka Oke at a round table as they discuss how facilitating commercial growth can be made possible through financial inclusion.
