Please join the CSIS Scholl Chair in International Business for the report launch of its latest paper Uptake, Use, and Inclusion Gains from Fast Payment Systems: Early Comparative Data, and a panel discussion on the role fast payment systems in addressing financial inclusion for consumers and SMEs. As finance grows increasingly digital, countries around the world are putting financial inclusion as one of their main priorities. Countries took a variety of paths to financial and digital inclusion with varying claims to success. In recent years, FPS has become the go-to approach for payments modernization, with some countries opting for an increased role of the state in delivering digital payment services. This public panel discussion will present new research that explores the role of digital payments in advancing financial inclusion and the impact of FPS adoption in four countries: India, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Thailand.

This event is made possible by generous support of Mastercard Policy Center for the Digital Economy.
