Abstract

With the continuous development of the financial industry, the emerging concept of “inclusive finance” has drawn increasing attention. Years of practice have shown that inclusive finance plays a vital role in stabilizing financial development and promoting socio-economic growth. However, ensuring basic financial access for disadvantaged groups while maintaining financial institution profitability remains a global challenge. In response, countries have developed various approaches — Brazil’s agent banking, Kenya’s mobile payments, etc. This paper compares international inclusive finance models and proposes feasible paths for China’s context.
