National Financial Inclusion Strategies: Current State of Practice (2022)

A well-coordinated national financial inclusion strategy (NFIS) facilitates the development of inclusive financial systems which are crucial to advancing financial inclusion.

AFI has launched many publications to support its members in their efforts to improve their NFIS and financial inclusion policies. As of April 2022, 63 AFI members have an NFIS, with 16 members in the process of pre-formulating or formulating theirs.

This report provides an overview of NFIS practices that countries have adopted, and highlights recent developments and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis on NFIS policymaking.
