Regulatory Leadership in Advancing Financial Inclusion

Financial inclusion remains a policy priority for many jurisdictions and for Rwanda in particular, the access gap has narrowed significantly. Financial Inclusion strategies are to shift from access to meaningful usage, strengthening economic resilience and building financial health.

This panel will examine the evolving role of regulators in enabling financial inclusion, inclusive insurance markets while safeguarding financial stability and consumer protection. Discussions will explore proportionate regulatory frameworks, digital innovation and supervision, climate and disaster risk solutions, and the importance of cross-sector collaboration.

After the panel discussion: Launch of the Rwanda Financial Inclusion and Inclusive Insurance strategies (TBC)
