From G20 Commitments to Action: Accelerating Financial Inclusion through Secure Digital Ecosystems

As South Africa’s G20 Presidency draws to a close, this B20 Digital Transformation Task Force (DTTF) side event marks a pivotal shift from commitments to implementation. Bringing together approximately 150 senior leaders from the public and private sectors, the discussion will explore how digital transformation can deliver tangible financial inclusion and unlock inclusive economic growth.

Building on the DTTF’s recommendations, the session will highlight how secure infrastructure, ethical data frameworks, and trusted partnerships can turn ambition into impact. Real-world examples, such as Visa’s recent establishment of its first data centre in Africa, will illustrate how innovation can create resilient, inclusive digital ecosystems that extend opportunity to underserved communities.

Ultimately, the dialogue reinforces that accelerating financial inclusion requires coordinated action: businesses investing with purpose, governments enabling with vision, and both working together to ensure digital transformation advances opportunity for all.
