About:
In determining what needs to be done to close the gender gap in financial inclusion and creating economic opportunities, there is a compelling argument for taking a closer look at what policymakers and central bankers are doing to create an enabling policy environment, particularly for supporting women’s access to digital financial services.
In this webinar we will be assessing the women’s financial inclusion and economic opportunities. This webinar will help deepen our understanding of the financial inclusion gender gaps as well as focus on how providers can serve female customers better. We will unpack the benefits and challenges involved in various approaches to better understanding and serving female customers, with an emphasis on the collection and use of data.
