Page 4 - FIGI - Use of telecommunications data for digital financial inclusion

DISCLAIMER
The Financial Inclusion Global Initiative (FIGI) is a three-year program implemented in partnership by the World
Bank Group (WBG), the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI), and the International Tele-
communication Union (ITU) funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) to support and accelerate
the implementation of country-led reform actions to meet national financial inclusion targets, and ultimately
the global 'Universal Financial Access 2020' goal. FIGI funds national implementations in three countries-China,
Egypt and Mexico; supports working groups to tackle three sets of outstanding challenges for reaching univer-
sal financial access: (1) the Electronic Payment Acceptance Working Group (led by the WBG), (2) The Digital ID
for Financial Services Working Group (led by the WBG), and (3) The Security, Infrastructure and Trust Working
Group (led by the ITU); and hosts three annual symposia to gather national authorities, the private sector, and
the engaged public on relevant topics and to share emerging insights from the working groups and country
programs.
