“One of the key drivers of financial inclusion today is no doubt financial literacy.

According to him, in order to address the financial inclusion gaps, the National Financial Inclusion Strategy 2022, identified increasing adoption and
usage of financial services in priority demographics.

He said that such demographics comprised the most vulnerable segments such as women, youth, MSMEs and rural dwellers.

“And especially, the Northern part of the country as well as expansion of digital financial services and platforms amongst its strategic priority areas.

“To enable us to achieve these, we must take deliberate steps to upscale financial capability through financial education programmes.

“The shortage of skilled and experienced persons to drive financial education remains a major hindrance.

“Interestingly, the National Financial Inclusion Strategy 2022 places high priority on financial and digital learning.”
