Our aspiration is to build a world where every individual has equal access to formal financial services, irrespective of their location, background or socioeconomic condition. We believe that financial inclusion is a powerful driver of economic growth and social progress, enabling countries to attain at least seven out of the seventeen SDGs and contributing to the 2030 agenda. The G20 2023 FIAP comes at a time when we are only seven years away from our 2030 deadline.
Recognizing the crucial timeline and the role of financial inclusion in enabling countries’ progress towards achieving the relevant SDGs, the GPFI will use the G20 2023 FIAP to build a three-year mission for addressing the ‘last mile’ and moving closer to universal financial inclusion, and hence towards the attainment of SDGs.
