Financial inclusion has entered into the global development agenda in recent years, due to the increasing recognition of its importance in reducing poverty and socio-economic inequality, as well as its role as a key contributor to the advancement of sustainable and equitable economic growth.
Over the last couple of years, the Bangladesh government has achieved significant growth in Financial Inclusion specially creating access in the formal financial system.
The government continues to make progress on its financial inclusion goals through the implementation of initiatives designed to reach the financially excluded, particularly the poor. The current progress can be multiplied by collaborative efforts from the participants of DFS eco-system.
Aspire to Innovate (a2i) has been working closely with Bangladesh Bank, other government and non-government organizations, fintech startups, and development partners to bring the grassroots population of the country into the formal financial system.
To make the digital financial ecosystem in the country more dynamic, it is important to ensure the involvement and increase the capacity of the officials from various banks, MFS, financial institutions, development partners, research institutes, donor agencies, Bangladesh Bank, various government ministries and departments and other service providers on relevant issues.
