Tariq continued that inclusion contributes to reducing poverty and creating new job opportunities by enabling individuals to start their projects, and this reflects positively on enhancing economic stability as well as supporting small and medium-sized companies, in addition to the fact that inclusion also focuses on women and attempts to improve their economic conditions by empowering them.
During Financial Inclusion Week, banks, electronic payment companies, and financial companies provide free bank account and prepaid card opening services, in addition to answering inquiries about other services such as loans, deposits, financial transfers, and others.
In turn, international financial inclusion expert Professor Sadiq Al-Shammari told Al-Sabah: Financial inclusion represents an important dimension in the comprehensive and sustainable development strategy because of its impact on improving growth opportunities and financial and social stability.
He added that banking mechanisms and the advantages resulting from the use of electronic payment methods closely linked to banking will help expand the phenomenon of financial inclusion to become double what it is today, indicating that the number of banking operations will increase at acceptable rates commensurate with the targeted plans in this regard.
As for the advisor to the International Smart Card Company, Ghazi Al-Kinani, he told “Al-Sabah”: Electronic payment companies and private and government banks, in cooperation with the Central Bank, have made great efforts to interact citizens with banking products and enhance trust between the two parties.
Financial inclusion means disseminating financial and banking products and services at reasonable costs to the largest segment of society, institutions, and individuals, especially low-income segments, in contrast to financial exclusion, which excludes these segments. LINK
