Increased financial capability An increasing number of countries are developing financial literacy/education strategies, aiming at improving consumers’ levels of financial knowledge and awareness.
Enhanced consumer protection Consumers are protected from possible market abuses, competition is encouraged, and trust in the financial sector develops, encouraging financial inclusion.
Expanding access to financial services
in a responsible manner.
Catalytic Technical Assistance 1. Data, knowledge, in-depth diagnostics – to underpin evidence-based policymaking
