Through an Expression of Interest (EOI) letter published earlier this year, AFI invited interested countries to bid to host what will be the first global financial inclusion organization founded, driven and owned by the developing world. Countries eligible to submit an EOI included current AFI members and nations set to become AFI members before the completion of the AFI host country selection process. The Sub-Committee on Host Country Evaluation has reviewed the results of EOI submissions and announced Brazil, Malaysia, Mexico and Turkey have been chosen as the finalists to move forward in the selection process.
