Financial inclusion has emerged as a major policy agenda in many developing and developed countries with the aim to increase access to formal financial services. In particular, households with lower incomes and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experience financial exclusion. This results in underinvestment in human capital, health and capital stock, diminishing economic growth. Financial technology (Fintech) promises to enhance financial inclusion offering technological solutions that reduce information asymmetry (e.g. rating systems), transaction costs, and the need for intermediation (e.g. peer-to-peer lending platforms). Will these innovations eliminate financial constraints? Is there a future without banks? Can new technologies promote sustainable investment?
Speaker: Professor Stephany Griffith-Jones, Financial Markets Director, Initiative for Policy Dialogue, Columbia University (part-time); Emeritus Fellow, Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex; and Research Associate at Overseas Development Institute (ODI), London.
Speaker: Robert Lensink, Professor of Finance and Financial Markets, University of Groningen
Speaker: Dr Maurizio Fiaschetti, Lecturer in Banking and Finance, SOAS University of London
