The G20 Principles for Innovative Financial Inclusion consist of nine core principles for promoting financial inclusion, based on experience and best practice, which form the basis of the G20’s Financial Inclusion Action Plan. A new Bringing the Principles to Life report, published by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) in its capacity as implementing partner of the G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI), describes how 11 countries on five continents have successfully applied the principles, and the lessons they have learned in doing so.
