Inclusive Development for
Our Global Future
Author and Speaker Mayada El-Zogbhi explains how we can achieve an inclusive and equitable digital economy.
Equity in the Inclusive Economy: Rebalancing Power in the Digital Economy
Equity in the Inclusive Economy invites its readers to explore how to ensure that power is not concentrated as economies promote digital development. You’ll learn how to integrate inclusive policies that promote equal opportunity and equal participation by distributing wealth, capital, and social connections to those who have been traditionally excluded.
What Is Inclusive Finance and Why is It Needed for Inclusive Development?
Inclusive finance is a financial system that serves all — low income people, small businesses, higher income segments and corporates. Because the financial system is critical for fueling investment in the real economy, we must start with ensuring that a financial system serves all stakeholders if we want an inclusive economy.
Inclusive finance should not be confused with financial inclusion, which seeks to expand access to financial services for the underserved. Access is insufficient for equity and inclusion. An inclusive financial system goes beyond access and ensures that the system itself is able to deliver safe, responsible, and quality financial services that meet the needs of individuals and firms.
