What is financial inclusion? 👥 💰 Historically, financial inclusion has been defined and measured by one metric: access to a bank account. But it is clear that this KPI alone is not comprehensive enough to capture what it means to be financially included. The Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI)'s G20 FINANCIAL INCLUSION INDICATORS whitepaper states that financial inclusion should be measured in three dimensions: (i) access to financial services (ii) usage of financial services (iii) the quality of the products and the service delivery. That means, not simply holding a bank account but accessing a wide range of financial services, having the financial literacy and support to use those services, and for the onboarding and service to be of a high quality. It means being able to participate fully in your local, national, and international economy. Fundamentally, to achieve financial inclusion financial services need to meet the needs of the underserved. Defy is contributing to build financial inclusion through decentralisation. Decentralisation holds the key to financial inclusion but it takes an ecosystem of partnerships to make an impact.

United Nations - The World Bank On Global Digital Compact It was a very timely, relevant and important discussion between UN and WB on #GlobalDigitalCompact (GDC) today at the WB HQ. GDC would set out principles, objectives and actions for advacing an open, free, secured and human-centred digital future: anchored at universal human right and achieving SDGs. The World Bank could leverage lending operations, enabling knowledge and partnership to support tackling digital divide and development divide. Countries or member states could benefit from interoperability, scaling up capacity to global level and exchange best practices on digital knowledge and transformation in supporting development. We need to find ways to harness digital technologies for benefit of all and to foster national-international governance arrangements that prevent its misuse. Special thanks to: H.E.

The World Bank announced an important reform today to consolidate and streamline their guarantee offerings into a single, accessible marketplace by July 2024. This overhaul aims to mobilize increased private investment for development projects and triple annual guarantee issuance to $20 billion by 2030. Motivated by recommendations from the Private Sector Investment Lab and #G20 Independent Expert Group, this one-stop guarantee shop promises greater simplicity, improved access, and faster execution for clients. According to @TheWorldBank President #AjayBanga, "We need the private sector’s resources and ingenuity to tackle major global challenges." HSBC's CEO Noel Quinn, NinetyOne’s Hendrik du Toit, and other #privatesector leaders have endorsed the changes to encourage #sustainable emerging markets investment. As Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL)‘s CEO Damilola Ogunbiyi says, “The new platform will enable local currency lending and support decentralized #renewableenergy projects.” By consolidating their offerings into an accessible marketplace, the #WorldBank is taking constructive steps to unlock private #climatefinance and meet critical #SDG investment needs. This innovative public-private collaboration can channel investment to where it is most required. #BlendedFinance #MobilizeCapital #Reforms
