SOUTH ASIA REGION
FINANCIAL INCLUSION
INITIATIVE (SARFII)


SOUTH ASIA REGION
FINANCIAL INCLUSION
INITIATIVE (SARFII)

 

Launched at the 12th AFI Global Policy Forum (GPF) in Jordan, in September 2022,
SARFII aims to build on the important strides made by South Asian member
institutions over the past decade by acting as a catalyst to accelerate
financial inclusion with an objective to improve lives and make financial
security and inclusion a reality for across South Asia.

AFI South Asian member countries are culturally and economically diverse but
share common concerns about financial inclusion in terms of access, usage and
quality. South Asian members have taken the mandate of financial inclusion very
seriously over the last decade, implementing various policies to continue
providing access to the unbanked and the underbanked. According to the global
Findex data, financial inclusion levels for adults have increased from 23%
(2011) to 40% (2021). Despite the pandemic’s devastation, regulators have
embraced digital transformation and digital financial inclusion as a critical
solution to fostering a resilient, inclusive and a sustainable recovery.

 

WHY JOIN AFI’S SOUTH ASIA REGION FINANCIAL INCLUSION INITIATIVE (SARFII)?



However, there are still significant opportunities to address the current
challenges faced by AFI members in the region. There are still over 160 million
adults who lack access to formal financial institutions. The gender gap in
access to finance continues to remain higher in South Asia and the region gets
disproportionately impacted because of the adverse effects of climate change.

Member regulators from South Asia continue to develop policies across broad
range of financial inclusion thematic areas including Digital Financial Services
(DFS), MSME finance, Inclusive Green Finance, Gender Inclusive Finance, Consumer
protection and Financial education & literacy and have also been championing in
many of these policy areas in the network. SARFII will facilitate peer learning
and development of practical policies amongst member institutions within the
region through deeper regional collaboration.
