The Stellar Development Foundation commissioned PwC to develop a global financial inclusion framework to help assess how blockchain-based solutions can advance digital financial inclusion and enhance the social impact of financial service providers.
The Stellar Development Foundation partnered with PwC to create a comprehensive financial inclusion framework addressing the challenge that over 1.4 billion people lack access to essential financial services. The framework provides financial service providers with a structured approach to assess their social handprint and understand how they contribute to financial inclusion and economic development. The report explores how public blockchain networks can fill gaps in traditional finance and offers priorities for the blockchain industry to enhance its positive social impact. Key topics include assessing financial solutions' inclusion capabilities, improving service accessibility, identifying where blockchain excels, and establishing governance and responsible design principles for implementation.
