Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Financial inclusion ensures that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services, enhancing financial stability and economic growth by integrating underserved populations into the financial system. It is a crucial component of economic growth and societal advancement in today's digitally connected world. This Special Issue, titled "Financial Inclusion Strategies: Emerging Trends and Global Perspectives", is dedicated to examining global and emerging trends in financial inclusion.
This Special Issue will explore a diverse range of topics, such as the role of technology in enhancing financial access, the impact of regulatory policies, and the effectiveness of various policy initiatives. We encourage contributors to investigate both the theoretical and the practical connections between financial inclusion and other key areas, including poverty reduction and sustainable development.
Researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and leaders are invited to share their insights and findings on removing barriers and creating inclusive financial systems. Together, we can identify pathways to economic empowerment and social equity, ensuring that no one is excluded from the financial systems of the future.
This Special Issue will provide an important resource for academics, policymakers, and industry professionals who are committed to promoting financial inclusion and addressing the complex challenges that come with this important goal.
