MAKING FINANCIAL SERVICES MEET THE NEEDS OF THE WORLD’S MOST VULNERABLE

People living in poverty constantly juggle an evolving set of risks and crises
in their daily lives. Climate change, the pandemic, and the ongoing food crisis,
among others, have increased these risks substantially, contributing to a rise
in global poverty and inequality. Meanwhile, a third of the world’s adult
population lacks the financial services they could use to significantly improve
their lives. CGAP is working to change this, and we believe that positive trends
in inclusive finance offer hope for a green, resilient, and inclusive future.

TRUST IN TRANSITION: AFGHANISTAN’S HAWALA SYSTEM IN CRISIS AND RECOVERY

Afghanistan’s hawala system plays a critical and evolving role in the country’s
financial ecosystem. Since August 2021 its role has only expanded as trust in
the banking system faltered. Although hawala faces local competition and
international skepticism due to transparency concerns, it remains a vital
financial tool. The paper suggests that stakeholders should deepen engagement
with hawala networks, support their regulation and formalization, and explore
innovative partnerships to advance financial inclusion.
