AFI Global convened the leaders of its Working Groups in a virtual meeting to review progress during 2025 and align on how to implement the 2026–2028 Working Group Strategy, which is intended to increase the value and impact of the groups for members. The strategy prioritises strengthening Working Group architecture, improving the ability to generate high-quality insights, building policy implementation and capacity-building potential, strengthening data and insight generation alongside impact measurement, and improving leadership, governance and coordination. The Working Groups operate as AFI’s communities of practice and its main mechanism for generating and hosting knowledge, spanning Consumer Empowerment and Market Conduct, Digital Financial Services, Financial Inclusion Data and Impact, Financial Inclusion Strategy, Global Standards Proportionality, Inclusive Green Finance, and SME Finance. AFI indicated the next step is to translate the agreed strategic priorities into Working Group work plans and deliverables.
