Session 3: Smart Solutions for Jumpstarting an Inclusive, Green Recovery
21 June 2022 • 1:30–3:00 p.m. (in UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Financial inclusion is an embedded objective of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Financial inclusion is key to supporting environmental, social, and governance monitoring. Financial inclusion also has an interconnected relationship with affordable and clean energy, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, good health, and quality education. In addition, an inclusive green recovery must support better jobs, income and responsible economic growth. Innovative technologies enabled by smart policies and regulations have been driving financial inclusion. Governments can unleash policy innovations to promote more investment, advocacy, and research in inclusive green finance.

This session will discuss how the COVID pandemic has changed the policymakers’ and consumers’ mindset to digital adoption. The session will also show how smart regulatory approaches can safely support responsible financial inclusion, provide greater access to women, impact on the real economy, improve affordability, accessibility, and reduce carbon footprints.
