Register now! We are delighted to announce that the upcoming 2023 AFI GPF will be held from 12-15 September 2023 in Manila, Philippines — a nation known for its cultural diversity, natural beauty, and the warm hospitality of its people.
Each year, it is co-hosted by a different member institution in a different region of the world. This year’s GPF is co-hosted by AFI and one of its founding members Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
This invitation-only event brings together central banks, ministries of finance, financial regulators, standard-setting bodies, international organizations, financial service providers, technology companies, mobile network operators, payment platforms, researchers and technical experts. During four days of high-level dialogue and peer-to-peer exchange, the event explores opportunities to develop and improve national financial inclusion strategies and policies.
The annual AFI GPF is the world’s leading event on financial inclusion and the most important and comprehensive forum for regulatory institutions with an interest in promoting financial inclusion policy. It is focused on developing and improving national financial inclusion strategies and policies and is used as a platform for senior financial regulators to exchange ideas as well as engage in peer-to-peer learning activities.
The event tagline, “Stability, Sustainability, and Inclusivity for Shared Prosperity” emphasizes the importance of financial inclusion and sustainable development for monetary and financial stability. This year’s GPF explores critical questions such as: How can we best promote financial inclusion alongside financial stability and integrity? How do we institutionalize efforts to promote financial inclusion? How can we ensure that targets are met? How can we capitalize on the transformational impact of technology while keeping its risks in check, thereby ensuring that disadvantaged and vulnerable groups are not left behind?

The pearl-inspired design of the 2023 GPF logo represents the Philippines’ popular historical sobriquet, “Pearl of the Orient Seas” – owing to its strategic location, cultural diversity, and its abundance of natural beauty and resources. The Philippines is also known as an important source of South Sea Pearl – one of the most popular pearls in the world. The logo reflects both a pearl and abstract visualization of the Philippines map – beautifully capturing the country’s hosting of the 2023 GPF. Equally important, it conveys a strong visual connection to the conference theme itself. The colorful, dynamic shapes pointing toward the inner pink dot (representing Manila) depict the convergence of the conference’s thematic areas of stability, sustainability, and inclusivity toward shared prosperity. Finally, the colors and shapes echo agility and dynamism – vital values that underpin the pursuit of financial inclusion. |
