| Summary: | Financial inclusion is about introducing
justice and equity in financial systems and focuses on: (i)
extending financial services to previously excluded
populations and micro-entrepreneurs; (ii) empowering the
poor and low income populations that have largely been
excluded from access to financial services; and (iii)
extending access through provision of holistic services
ranging from credit delivery to deposits, insurance and
pensions and other financial services. |
