REPORT Bridging the Divide Skills for digital financial equity and inclusion Page cropped

This report showcases data-driven insights on the ways in which digital financial services, skills, and trust impact equitable and inclusive participation in the digital economy.

The report is based on a 2022 online survey hosted by Devex and Visa that collected insights from 1,193 global development professionals and 31 thought leaders in digital financial inclusion.
