Challenges, Successes and Opportunities of Financial Inclusion in MENA
Financial inclusion has been identified as a key topic for the MENA region. Technology on its own will help us connect with the digitized financial world but it will not be the only factor. We need to build technologies that expand the horizons of electronic payments and work with partners across industries and segments. We need to create deeper, inclusive and intelligent experiences to enhance how people live and businesses grow. The webinar will cover the challenges, successes and opportunities of financial inclusion in MENA.
Digital technologies have spread rapidly in much of the world, yet, there is potential to boost digital dividends but also to simply enhance efficiencies, reduce costs and expand access to financial services.
The webinar is expected to draw on the global fintech landscape and how better data collection and analytics can inform customer choice better. It will cover the opportunities, challenge and successes in financial inclusion around the world and how best to serve the digital customer.
