The financial inclusion community is renewing its efforts to understand the role financial services play in the lives of poor people and how financial services can improve their well-being. This paper proposes a learning agenda based on extensive consultation with donors, researchers, and practitioners who support financial inclusion. It asks the following questions:
- Financial inclusion for what?
- What should we invest in?
- What are the promising welfare-enhancing solutions?
- Which ones should we experiment with?
- How do we achieve the nuance required to guide financial inclusion policy decisions that enable financial services to add value to poor people’s lives?
