FDC - The Inclusion Imperative - A Call to Action

FDC’s latest report, The Inclusion Imperative: A Call to Action, explores priority issues, key trends and proposes specific recommendations to assist policy makers and regulators in creating more inclusive economies and societies across the Asia-Pacific region.

The report represents a “call to action” for stakeholders to combine their knowledge, resources and efforts to achieve equitable and sustainable outcomes through a more concrete dialogue on the institutional and legal reforms needed to make meaningful progress in support of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.

The recommendations in this report are the result of the discussions and contributions of participants of two major policy initiatives implemented by FDC in 2018; namely the Asia-Pacific Financial Inclusion Forum (Tokyo, 27-28 June) and the Mekong Inclusive Growth Forum (Bangkok, 2-3 October) which was organised thanks to the support and contribution of ADA, together with the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), Banking with the Poor (BWTP), the Thailand Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) and the United Nations Capital Development Fund’s SHIFT ASEAN Programme, which is supported by the Australian Government.
