At the onset of COVID-19, the AFI network quickly engaged virtual means to continue its mandate of global policy advocacy.

“Despite the global pandemic, AFI network members were swift to implement policy responses and leverage the peer learning and knowledge sharing platforms offered by our working groups and regional initiatives in pursuit of better financial inclusion for all,” says AFI Executive Director Dr. Alfred Hannig. 

Working groups and regional initiatives have consistently been a center for emerging, relevant and appropriate policy guidance to assist AFI members, and our 2020 achievements would not have seen the light of day without active contributions by our 100 members from central banks and other financial regulatory institutions across the globe, our knowledge partners from the private sector and financial support from our funding partners.
