The United Nations Advisors Group on Inclusive Financial Sectors, established by the United Nations for a two-year term following the 2005 International Year of Microcredit to advise the UN system and member states on global issues relating to inclusive finance, has released “Five Key Messages for Four Key Audiences.” The statements of best practices for expanding access to finance for the poor are addressed to four key stakeholder audiences: governments, regulators, development partners and the private sector. The Executive Secretary of the United Nations Capital Development Fund stressed that the Advisors, fully engaged in advocacy, will bring these messages to the target audiences “to underscore the constructive role each of those groups can play in broadening access to financial sectors.”
Text of the “Key Messages” and further information on their announcement is available here.
