The G-24/AFI Roundtable provides a high-level platform for engaging Central Bank Governors and senior policymakers from developing and emerging countries in discussions on globally relevant financial inclusion policy issues, and has in previous years galvanized action on cutting edge topics including inclusive digital currencies, inclusive green finance, gender inclusive finance, FinTech regulation, and the challenge of de-risking.

Central Banks’ mandates have steadily evolved over many years, yet the pace of this evolution appears to be increasing. Central Banks remain responsible for price and financial stability but are also embracing roles as enablers of inclusive innovation in the financial system. Many are even active participants in the global response to climate change and environmental threats. How should Central Banks manage their resources and deploy policy tools to best accomplish these goals? How should traditional objectives and responsiveness to global challenges be optimally balanced?

These questions will be at the heart of this year’s annual G-24/AFI Roundtable, now in its fifteenth year, to be held in person for the first time since 2019.
