Global Inclusive Finance
Financial Inclusion is a powerful accelerator of economic progress that helps in combating extreme poverty and aids in bringing equality to the marginalized sections of society. Financial inclusion enables poor people to save and to borrow – allowing them to build their assets, to invest in education and livelihood opportunities, and thus to improve their quality of life.
Global Inclusive Finance is a global policy platform on Financial Inclusion with the objective of enabling cross-pollination of best practices and breakthroughs, specifically to influence India’s Financial Inclusion strategy and campaign. Global Inclusive Finance Summit with its legacy of more than 2 decades has provided substantial evidence, increased guidance and strong articulation for building a vision and a strong ecosystem with clearly defined roles for stakeholders and making key recommendations on financial inclusion policy, regulation, supervision, technology advancements, client protection and institutional framework. In the last couple of years, the Summit has broadened its ambit with larger themes related to financial inclusion being deliberated and delved into. The Summit is amongst the largest conglomeration of financial inclusion eco-system globally attracting over 1000 delegates from across the globe.
At the Summit, the flagship Global Inclusive Finance Report is released, providing insightful analysis and an honest critique of the financial inclusion progress during the course of the year. A host of associated events during the Summit are organized through policy retreats, issue specific workshops, roundtables and a Knowledge Fair which provides a platform to showcase a range of products, services and publications offered by various stakeholders.
