Discussions covered how citizens can better use both banking and non-banking financial services, including support for small and micro enterprises through financing tools intended to improve sustainability. The meeting also addressed integrating financially excluded groups into the formal financial system, improving women’s access to finance and technical support for launching and scaling businesses, and promoting awareness of financial rights as well as a culture of saving and safe investment.
