This Issues Paper framed the subject matter in the opening session of, and throughout, the 2nd GPFI Conference on Standard-Setting Bodies and Financial Inclusion: Standard Setting in the Changing Landscape of Digital Financial Inclusion. The event, hosted by the Financial Stability Institute from 30-31 October in Basel, explored both the potential benefits and potential risks to financially excluded and underserved populations flowing from digital financial inclusion.
Six global standard-setting bodies (SSBs), as well as the GPFI who are engaged in work relevant to digital financial inclusion, participated.
Both the full Issues Paper and a summary of key points are available for download.
The G20 Financial Inclusion Indicators assess the state of financial inclusion and digital financial services, nationally and globally. The data, which measures accessibility, use, and quality of financial services, can be used by countries to support their financial inclusion goals.
