You Can Make an Impact
Whether you’re a financial professional or a concerned citizen, you can take action to level the steep sides of the global financial pyramid and make financial inclusion a reality for more people. Some of these ideas require only a few minutes of your time while others need a sustained effort. However you choose to participate, the 2.5 billion people who are currently closed off from the pyramid of financial inclusion will appreciate your efforts.
