Session 9:  Regulators Take the Lead

 

 

 

Guided Discussion

In 2009 the South Pacific Central Bank Governors Meeting created a regional working group on financial inclusion.  Since that time, central banks in the region have recently added financial inclusion as part of their function, often taking a lead role in not only enabling, but also promoting financial inclusion.  Central Bank involvement has not been without its challenges, contradictions and setbacks. In this session central banks offer their experiences and future plans for the development of microfinance in each country.
