Now comes the hard part. To make migration work for all, we have to reduce the cost of remittances and we must apply most of the recommendations advanced by the Financial Inclusion 2020 Financial Capability working group. From providers taking responsibility for building financial capacity to governments creating and implementing cohesive national strategies to continuously improved delivery methods work towards scale. -- Imelda Nicolas

The time to act is now. Full Financial inclusion by the year 2020 is not an option. I think it is the option. It is critical to our shared aspirations for the future. And I believe it is possible to achieve. I have no doubt in my mind that it produces that win-win situation that is so necessary for efficient and all-around growth, which ensures that every sector, every community, every person old enough and well enough is covered and included. Ladies and gentlemen, let the passion we’ve shown in our discussions lead to action for growth.

I believe financial inclusion for all is not only possible by 2020, I think it’s inevitable. I believe there is more potential in innovation in money in the next 7 years than in the last 30 years. By 2020 I believe we will see a profound and fundamental shift in the way people do business, manage, and spend money.

Albert Einstein said “We cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” – in terms of Financial Inclusion we think that we cannot continue to use traditional banking tools for increasing the penetration of the financial system. We have to change our mind set.
