Global Trends and Challenges on Financial Inclusion Trend 1: Financial Inclusion as part of regulators mandate
Financial Inclusion is no longer only a development concern but a cornerstone of economic development framework and model;
Financial inclusion is a policy goal complementary to stability, integrity and consumer protection;
Financial Inclusion is understood in a broad framework including access, usage and quality of a range of financial services.<br>
08
Rationale: technological innovation to reduce cost of delivery and expand access and usage on a large scale
Example M-Shwari (Kenya): Interest bearing saving accounts and small loans via mobile phone
Account opening and loan disbursement immediately over the phone
Cooperation between Safaricom and the Commercial Bank of Africa
Credit scoring algorithm based on voice data, payment of phone bills and savings history

“While global standards are sufficient to allow proportionate application, they were originally not established with financial inclusion as a consideration; which can lead countries to adopt conservative approaches that limit innovation.”
Governor Amando Tetangco Jr., Governor of the Central Bank of the Philippines Trend 5: Redefining Global Standards GPFI and HM Queen Maxima have engaged with SSBs on financial inclusion and supported to catalyze the review of existing or formulation of new guidance
