Roundtable 3
Invite-Only
IFC, WEF, and MAS are collaborating to progress digital inclusion through innovative financing products. This initiative will advance consistent and equal access to digital information, services, and products to benefit underserved individuals, communities, and businesses, particularly Micro Small and Medium Businesses (MSMEs). The tri-party partnership will create a digital inclusion framework to guide how they work with Asian financial ecosystems to raise financing and/or investments.
During this session, an IFC leader will introduce the new digital inclusion investment products and sign a ceremonial MOU with IFC and MAS. The panel will progress to discussing the financing implications of digital inclusion and then products or platforms that may effect digital inclusion.
