Igniting SDG Progress Through Digital Financial Inclusion
This publication features extensive evidence-based examples for 13 SDGs relevant to the wide benefits of inclusive digital financial services.
Digital financial services offer real hope to help the world get back on track from the severe negative impacts from COVID-19.
Building on the success of the 2018 edition, this new version provides updated and extensive evidence-based examples of the benefits of digital financial services for the 13 relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This version takes a stronger focus on women and climate change across these 13 SDGs. If you are a leader in government, business, or civil society, this compendium will give you plenty of good reasons to make responsible digital financial inclusion a priority to advance the SDGs.
This compendium features examples from across the globe, including from Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.
