The Central Bank of Ecuador, working with the Financial and Monetary Policy and Regulation Board, has launched a process to update the National Financial Inclusion Policy and its strategies, aiming to strengthen access to, use of, and the quality of financial services in Ecuador. The update is being informed through technical roundtables with representatives from the financial system, public-sector entities and international stakeholders, with inputs used to build a comprehensive diagnostic and to define objectives, guidelines and concrete actions. The same inputs will also support the preparation of a National Financial Education Strategy intended to improve citizens’ capabilities to use financial products and services responsibly.
