Access to financial products contributes to inclusive growth. Making financial services accessible is, therefore, a key concern to policymakers. Technology has been a driver of innovation in many sectors. The panel will discuss the status of financial inclusion in low- and middle-income countries, and how the financial sector can leverage technology to enhance access to financial services for underserved populations and private sector growth.
