GPF 2011
Taking stock, setting goals, moving forward
Over three days, more than 180 developing country policymakers and 90 financial inclusion stakeholders from 65 countries joined together in Riviera Maya, Mexico at AFI’s annual Global Policy Forum (GPF). The group gathered to reflect back on challenges, define new milestones, and set their path for creating a more inclusive financial sector. These efforts materialized as a joint commitment of the AFI network, the Maya Declaration on Financial Inclusion.
