Policy Development and Implementation Guide for Inclusive Open Finance

This guideline note, developed by the DFSWG, provides a comprehensive framework for policymakers and regulators to design and implement inclusive data-sharing ecosystems—whether open banking, open finance, or broader open data regimes tailored to their unique contexts.

The guide provides important considerations for each policy aspect, from governance and technical standards to implementation and monitoring, and is anchored in guiding principles like inclusivity, consumer empowerment, and collaboration. To advance financial inclusion for underserved groups such as women, MSMEs, and rural populations, it emphasizes collaborative, consumer-centric policy development that fosters trust, competition, and innovation.

Access transformative guidance on readiness assessments, policy development, review, and other critical policy design objectives by downloading now. This will enable you to promote equitable, innovative, and inclusive financial systems.
