CGAP's White Paper on how to integrate financial inclusion objectives when applying international standards and guidance

White Paper by Consultative Group to Assist the Poor covering ongoing work by five SSBs to integrate financial inclusion into standards and guidance that can be applied at the country level.

Introduces three linked themes: i) financial exclusion carries risks; ii) processes of increasing financial inclusion will change nature of risks; and iii) country context in which SSB standards and guidance are being applied. Advocates application of the proportionality principle as an essential means for addressing these themes, both in standards and guidance of SSBs and in country-level implementation.
