GPF 2010
Full Report of the GPF 2010
The Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) and Bank Indonesia (BI) welcomed 150 policy makers from 50 countries and key financial inclusion experts from around the world to the second annual Global Policy Forum (GPF) in Bali, Indonesia. The event provided continuity from the first Forum in Nairobi, Kenya with its message of taking financial inclusion to the next level. This year’s GPF was designed for AFI members and other stakeholders to move beyond identifying concrete policy solutions to developing and implementing them to expand financial access to the poor.
