  • SDG Compendium Digital Financial Inclusion
    IGNITING SDG PROGRESS THROUGH DIGITAL FINANCIAL INCLUSION In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a plan of action for people, prosperity, and the planet, entitled “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” The 2030 Agenda consists of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), developed in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders globally and endorsed by all United Nations (UN) member states. The SDGs embody humanity’s shared aspirations and vision for the future, and faster progress is needed for them to make a difference in people’s lives. The evidence presented in this compendium identifies how digital financial inclusion can ignite faster progress toward the SDGs, and create long-lasting social and economic impact for millions of people worldwide. Are you a decision-maker in government, business, or civil society? We invite you to use this compendium to make digital financial inclusion a priority, whether it is allocating financing to build digital infrastructure, digitizing your payments, or passing regulations to ensure digital financial services can be used by everyone. The world is experiencing a digital revolution. More people than ever have access to mobile phones, the internet, and other digital services like prepaid cards, with the number growing every day. How can this digital revolution help us reach the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals more quickly? One important answer is through digital financial inclusion. Financial inclusion means affordable, effective, and safe financial services for everyone. Inclusive digital financial services refer to mobile money, online accounts, electronic payments, insurance and credit, combinations of them and newer fintech apps, that reach people who were formerly excluded.

    Saving for Old Age around the World: Evidence from the Global FINDEX Asli Demirguç-Kunt (World Bank) Leora Klapper (World Bank) Georgios Panos (University of Glasgow) 2015 Symposium: Implications of the New Regulatory Order for Retirement System Risk Management The Pension Research Council Friday, 01/05/2015 Why important? Lusardi (2003): Very little work has been done in investigating how households make saving plans and how they collect all the relevant information to make savings decisions • Almost all models assume that there are no planning costs and, e.g., no differences in how individuals access (and evaluate) information and how they overcome all the difficulties of devising savings plans • Empirical results consistent with 2 types of consumer-agents: (a) LC/PI types and (b) “rule of thumb” consumers, that simply consume according to their current income • The fraction of “rule of thumb” consumers has been estimated to be 20 - 50% (Mankiw, 1990; Browning and Lusardi, 1996; Hurst, 2003) Bernheim, Skinner, and Weinberg (1997, 2001): Consumption exhibits sharp drop at time of retirement and more pronounced decline post-retirement • Retirement, and years around it, are associated with decline in individuals’ economic well-being, an outcome which varies according to gender (faster decline for women by year) as well as working status (Clark and Quinn, 1999; Crystal and Shea, 1990; Sabelhaus and Manchester, 1995, JHR: US; Bardasi et al., 2000: UK; Bonsang and Klein, 2011: Germany; also opposite views, e.g. Kerwin, 2002: NBER) What we

The reviews are structured to cover the following major topics: The Fundamentals of the Issue Area • The Landscape Review explores the underlying dynamics of the impact issue area, explaining the scope of the challenge and its importance to human or environmental welfare. The Role of Private Capital • Impact investing is not a panacea. Rather it is often most effective as a complement to traditional philanthropy. The Landscape Reviews identify what, if any, market failures are relevant to the issue area and the role private capital can play in addressing them.

How Can Financial Inclusion Increase Financial Resilience?
